Answer:

15

Explanation:

TU is parallel to IJ. So ∠I and ∠T are corresponding angles, and ∠U and ∠J are corresponding angles.

By AA similarity, ΔHTU and ΔHIJ are similar.

Write a proportion:

HT / HI = HU / HJ

Plug in values:

4 / 10 = x / (x + 9)

Cross multiply:

4 (x + 9) = 10x

4x + 36 = 10x

36 = 6x

x = 6

So HU = 6, and HJ = 6 + 9 = 15.
