From the diagram, we were told that

Triangle FGH is similar to triangle JKH. This means that

Angle F is congruent to anle J

Angle G is congruent to anle K

Angle GHF is congruent to angle KHJ

Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of the corresponding sides would be equal. Thus,

FG/JK = FH/JH = GH/KH
