Length Ph
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the length of segment $PH$ where $P$ is a vertex of the rectangular base PQRS and $H$ is the midpoint of the top edge $FG$ of the wedge. Given dimensions are $PQ=6$ cm, $QR=4$ cm, and $RG=2$ cm.
2. **Understand the geometry:** The base is rectangle PQRS with points:
- $P=(0,0,0)$ as origin (assumed at bottom-left corner)
- $Q=(6,0,0)$ along x-axis
- $R=(6,4,0)$ along y-axis
- $S=(0,4,0)$
Point $G$ is $2$ cm above $R$, so $G=(6,4,2)$.
Point $F$ is above $S$, so $F=(0,4,2)$.
3. **Locate $H$, the midpoint of $FG$: **
$$H=\left(\frac{0+6}{2},\frac{4+4}{2},\frac{2+2}{2}\right)=(3,4,2)$$
4. **Coordinates summary:**
- $P=(0,0,0)$
- $H=(3,4,2)$
5. **Calculate length $PH$: **
Using 3D distance formula:
$$PH=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(4-0)^2+(2-0)^2}=\sqrt{9+16+4}=\sqrt{29}$$
6. **Answer:** $PH=\sqrt{29}$ which corresponds to option C.
