Answer:

X = 33.6

Step-by-step explanation:

DE/GH = EF/x

5/21 = 8/x

(21 * 8)/5 = 33.6

Triangle DEF is similar to triangle GHI.

Measure of side HI = 33.6 (nearest tenth)

What is a triangle?

"A triangle is a 3-sided polygon sometimes (but not very commonly) called the trigon. Every triangle has three sides and three angles, some of which may be the same. The sides of a triangle are given special names in the case of a right triangle, with the side opposite the right angle being termed the hypotenuse and the other two sides being known as the legs."

Given

DE =5, FE = 8

Triangle DEF is similar to triangle GHI.

So, [tex]\frac{DE}{GH} =\frac{FE}{HI}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{5}{8} = \frac{21}{x}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]5x = 21[/tex] × [tex]8[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = \frac{21}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 33.6[/tex] (nearest tenth)

Hence, Measure of side HI = 33.6 (nearest tenth)
