To use Hess Law, one simply uses the known equations and their respective ∆H values, rearranges them as necessary to arrive at the target equation (unknown ∆H) and then adds the ∆H values to obtain the value for the target equation. This is possible because Hess Law applies to state functions which are independent of the path.
Hess's law allows you to calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpy changes of other reactions. This is particularly useful when direct measurement of the desired reaction is not feasible.

Mendel Hess died in 1871.
Hess's law is important to thermochemistry because it allows us to anticipate enthalpy changes of reactions that are too slow to realistically record, such as rusting or reactions that are too fast. Hess's law, stating that the enthalpy is the same regardless of the pathway, allows us to take known enthalpy values and substituting them in to find your target reaction's enthalpy change.

To determine the unknown reaction of triangle H using Hess's law, you would need to consider a series of known reactions that add up to the desired reaction. By manipulating and combining these known reactions, you can derive the overall reaction for triangle H. This involves balancing the equations and adjusting their coefficients to ensure the conservation of mass and energy.

By manipulating known reactions with known enthalpy changes to create a series of intermediate reactions that eventually add up to the desired reaction whose enthalpy change is unknown. By applying Hess's law, the sum of the enthalpy changes for the intermediate reactions will equal the enthalpy change of the desired reaction, allowing you to determine its enthalpy change.

Hess's law is used to measure the enthalpy of a desired reaction by comparing it to a series of known reactions with known enthalpy values. By manipulating these known reactions and applying Hess's law, the overall enthalpy change for the desired reaction can be calculated. This allows for the determination of the enthalpy of the desired reaction indirectly, using information from related reactions.
