Solution:

Note that:

  • Triangle ABC ≅ Triangle FGH
  • AC = 30 units
  • CB = 10 units
  • BA = 35 units
  • FH = 18 units
  • HG = 6 units

Looking at both the triangles, we can say that:

  • FH = 3AC/5 = 3(30)/5 = 90/5 = 18 units
  • HG = 3BC/5 = 3(10)/5 = 30/5 = 6 units

We can do the same with AB and FG.

  • FG = 3AB/5 = 3(35)/5 = 3(7) = 21 units
