Q. Consider the triangles FGH\triangle FGH and FIJ\triangle FIJ where FGHFIJ\triangle FGH \sim \triangle FIJ. (Note: the figures are not drawn to scale.) Step 11 of 22 : Find xx. Answer How to enter your answer (opens in new window) x=x=
  1. Set Up Proportion: Since the triangles FGHFGH and FIJFIJ are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional. We need to set up a proportion using the sides of the triangles to solve for xx.
  2. Assume Triangle Sides: Let's assume the sides of triangle FGH are aa, bb, and cc, and the corresponding sides of triangle FIJ are kak\cdot a, kbk\cdot b, and kck\cdot c, where kk is the scale factor. We need the lengths to set up the proportion, but they are not provided in the problem statement.
