Given that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle HJK (ΔABC ≅ ΔHJK), the corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal in length.

In triangle ABC, the side lengths are:
- AB = 3.5 cm
- BC = 2.4 cm
- AC = 4.2 cm

To find the length of side HJ in triangle HJK, we need to match it with one of the sides from triangle ABC. The corresponding sides of the two triangles are:

- HJ corresponds to AB
- JK corresponds to BC
- HK corresponds to AC

Therefore, the length of side HJ, which corresponds to AB, is:
\[ HJ = AB = 3.5 \text{ cm} \]

Thus,
\[ HJ = 3.5 \text{ cm} \]
