Answer:

x = 22.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{FH}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{GH}{BC}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{x}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12.5}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

5x = 112.5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 22.5 cm
