Answer:

UY = 90

GH = 4

Explanation:

Given that FGHIJ ~ YUVWX, therefore, their corresponding side lengths would be proportional to each other. Thus:

UY/GF = VW/HI

UY/10 = 63/7 (Substitution)

UY/10 = 9

UY = 10*9

UY = 90

In the same vein, we have:

VW/HI = UV/GH

63/7 = 36/GH (Substitution)

9 = 36/GH

GH*9 = 36

GH = 36/9

GH = 4
