Question

find the measure of \\(\overline{ef}\\).
need help?
(there is a line segment with points e, g, f. eg is 2.5 in. gf is 2.8 in. there is a box to fill in the answer with in. below it.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify segment addition

Since \( G \) is on \( \overline{EF} \), \( EF = EG + GF \).

Step2: Substitute values

\( EG = 2.5 \) in, \( GF = 2.8 \) in. So \( EF = 2.5 + 2.8 \).

Step3: Calculate sum

\( 2.5 + 2.8 = 5.3 \).

Answer:

\( 5.3 \)
