Answer:

UY = 90

GH = 4

Explanation:

Property of similarity of two similar figures:

"If two figures are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional"

Since, FGHIJ ~ YUVWX


(FG)/(UY)= (GH)/(UV)= (IJ)/(WX)


(10)/(UY)= (GH)/(36)= (6)/(54)


(10)/(UY)= (6)/(54)

UY =
(54* 10)/(6)

UY = 90


(GH)/(36)= (6)/(54)

GH =
(6* 36)/(54)

= 4

GH = 4
