Step1: Identify similar triangles
$\triangle GHF \sim \triangle EGF \sim \triangle EGH$ (right triangle altitude similarity theorem)
Step2: Set up proportion for HF
Use $\triangle GHF \sim \triangle EGF$:
$\frac{HF}{GF} = \frac{GF}{EF}$
Step3: Substitute known values
$GF=20$, $EF=25$:
$\frac{HF}{20} = \frac{20}{25}$
Step4: Solve for HF
Multiply both sides by 20:
$HF = \frac{20 \times 20}{25} = \frac{400}{25}$
