Quadrilateral BCDE is similar to quadrilateral FGHI. Find the measure of side GH.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

The question illustrates equivalent ratios, because both quadrilaterals are similar.

The length of GH is 35.1 units

From the question (see attachment), the corresponding sides are:

  • CD and GH
  • DE and HI

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{CD : DE = GH : HI}[/tex]

The side lengths are:

[tex]\mathbf{HI = 51}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{CD = 11}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{DE = 16}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{11 : 16 = GH : 51}[/tex]

Express as fractions

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{11 }{ 16} = \frac{GH }{ 51}}[/tex]

Make GH the subject

[tex]\mathbf{GH =51 \times \frac{11 }{ 16}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{GH =35.1}[/tex]

Hence, the length of GH is 35.1 units
