Answer:

GJ

Explanation:

The "Side Splitter" Theorem says that if a line intersects two sides of a triangle and is parallel to the third side of the triangle, it divides those two sides proportionally.

In this case, lines EF and HJ are parallel, H is on side EG and J is on side GF; then using the side-splitter theorem:


(GH)/(HE) = (GJ)/(JF)
