Answer:


y\text{ = 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of y

From the question, we have it that the two shapes are similar

When two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that:


(AB)/(CD)\text{ = }(EF)/(GH)

Mathematically, that would be:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(4.5)\text{ = }(2)/(y) \\ \\ 3*\text{ y= 2}*4.5 \\ y\text{ = }(2*4.5)/(3) \\ \\ y\text{ =3} \end{gathered}
