1. Problem: If J is the circumcenter of \(\triangle DEF\), find the length of \(DH\). Given segments: \(EG = 8x - 17\), \(GF = 6x - 7\), and \(JH = 8\).
2. Since \(J\) is the circumcenter, it is equidistant from vertices \(D, E, F\). The point \(H\) lies on segment \(DF\), and \(JH = 8\) is given.
3. First, find \(EF\) by summing \(EG\) and \(GF\):
$$EF = EG + GF = (8x - 17) + (6x - 7) = 14x - 24$$
4. Since \(G\) is the centroid of \(\triangle ABC\) in the next problem, and the first problem only asks for \(DH\), we focus on the first problem only as per instructions.
5. To find \(DH\), we need more information or relations, but since \(J\) is the circumcenter, \(JH = 8\) is the radius of the circumscribed circle.
6. Without additional data, we cannot find \(DH\) directly from the given expressions. However, since the problem states to find \(DH\), and \(JH = 8\), and \(H\) lies on \(DF\), \(DH + JH = DF\).
7. If \(DH + 8 = DF\), and \(DF\) is unknown, we need to find \(DF\) or \(DH\) in terms of \(x\).
8. Since the problem is incomplete for the first question, we proceed to the next question as per guest rule.

1. Problem: If \(G\) is the centroid of \(\triangle ABC\), with \(AF = 63\), \(BD = 54\), and \(CE = 48\), find:
(a) \(GF\)
(b) \(CG\)
(c) \(BG\)
2. The centroid divides each median in a 2:1 ratio, with the longer segment adjacent to the vertex.
3. For median \(AF\), \(AG = 2 \times GF\), and \(AF = AG + GF = 3 \times GF\).
4. Calculate \(GF\):
$$GF = \frac{AF}{3} = \frac{63}{3} = 21$$
5. Calculate \(CG\) from median \(BD\):
$$BG = 2 \times GD, \quad BD = BG + GD = 3 \times GD$$
$$GD = \frac{BD}{3} = \frac{54}{3} = 18$$
$$BG = 2 \times 18 = 36$$
6. Calculate \(CG\) from median \(CE\):
$$CG = 2 \times EG, \quad CE = CG + EG = 3 \times EG$$
$$EG = \frac{CE}{3} = \frac{48}{3} = 16$$
$$CG = 2 \times 16 = 32$$
7. Final answers:
(a) \(GF = 21\)
(b) \(CG = 32\)
(c) \(BG = 36\)
