Answer:

[tex]KH = 55[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Find KH

From the attachment:

[tex]GD = 13[/tex]   [tex]DE = 7[/tex]

[tex]HI = 29.4[/tex]

To find KH, we make use of the following equivalent ratio:

[tex]GD : DE = KH : HI[/tex]

Substitute values for GD, DE and HI

[tex]13 : 7 = KH : 29.4[/tex]

Convert to fractions

[tex]\frac{13}{7} = \frac{KH}{29.4}[/tex]

Make KH the subject

[tex]KH = \frac{13}{7} * 29.4[/tex]

[tex]KH = \frac{13* 29.4}{7}[/tex]

[tex]KH = \frac{382.2}{7}[/tex]

[tex]KH = 54.6[/tex]

[tex]KH = 55[/tex] --- approximated
