I’m missing which side in CDE corresponds to the side of length 53 in FGH. The method is: scale factor k = (corresponding side in FGH)/(corresponding side in CDE), then multiply the CDE side that corresponds to GH by k.

Two likely interpretations:

- If the 53 in FGH corresponds to the 13 in CDE, then k = 53/13 and GH corresponds to the 10 side, so GH = 10*(53/13) = 40.769… → 40.8 (nearest tenth).
- If the 53 corresponds to the 10 in CDE, then k = 53/10 and GH corresponds to the 13 side, so GH = 13*(53/10) = 68.9.

Which side in triangle CDE corresponds to the 53 in FGH? Once you tell me that I’ll give the exact GH.
