9 20 44

Answer 1

I’m missing which side(s) the numbers 9, 20, 44 refer to and how the vertices correspond (for example, whether F ↔ I, G ↔ J, H ↔ K). Could you either

- upload the diagram, or
- tell me which side lengths belong to triangle FGH and which belong to triangle IJK, and confirm the correspondence of vertices (e.g. F↔I, G↔J, H↔K)?

Once you provide that I’ll compute IJ and round to the nearest tenth.

If it helps, here’s the method I’ll use once I have the correspondence and given lengths:
- Use corresponding sides: FG ↔ IJ, GH ↔ JK, FH ↔ IK (if F↔I, G↔J, H↔K).
- The scale factor k = (side in IJK)/(corresponding side in FGH).
- Then IJ = k · FG (or use any pair of corresponding sides to find k).
