Answer:

UY = 90

GH = 4

Explanation:

Find the ratio of FGHIJ to YUVWX.

This,

Ratio = IJ to WX

IJ : WX = 6/54 = ⅑

✔️UY corresponds to GF. Thus:

GF:UY = 1:9

GF = 10.

Therefore:

10/UY = 1/9

Cross multiply

90 = UY

UY = 90

✔️GH corresponds to UV.

UV = 36

GH:UV = 1:9

Therefore,

GH/36 = 1/9

Multiply both sides by 36

GH = 1/9 × 36

GH = 4
