1. **Problem Statement:**
Given a rectangle DEFG with side GF = 11 and side GH = 14, find the lengths GE, DF, HF, and DG.
2. **Recall Properties of Rectangles:**
- Opposite sides are equal in length.
- Diagonals are equal in length.
- Diagonals bisect each other.
3. **Assign Known Values:**
- GF = 11 (given)
- GH = 14 (given)
4. **Find GE and DF:**
Since GE and DF are opposite sides to GF and GH respectively, we have:
$$GE = GF = 11$$
$$DF = GH = 14$$
5. **Find the length of diagonal DG (or EF):**
Using the Pythagorean theorem for right triangle formed by sides GF and GH:
$$DG = \sqrt{GF^2 + GH^2} = \sqrt{11^2 + 14^2} = \sqrt{121 + 196} = \sqrt{317}$$
6. **Find HF (half of diagonal DG):**
Since diagonals bisect each other at H:
$$HF = \frac{DG}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{317}}{2}$$
**Final answers:**
$$GE = 11$$
$$DF = 14$$
$$DG = \sqrt{317}$$
$$HF = \frac{\sqrt{317}}{2}$$
