    Step-by-step explanation:

    If GH is tangent to circle F, then it forms a right angle with FG. Therefore, triangle FGH would be a right triangle and would satisfy Pythagorean theorem.

    34² + 256² = 288²

    66692 = 82944

    The sides are not a Pythagorean triple, so GH is not tangent to the circle.
