Answer :

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

data:

triangles diagram

Step 02:

similar triangles:

side HJ:

[tex]\frac{DE}{HI}=\frac{DF}{HJ}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{45}{36}=\frac{30}{HJ} \\ \\ HJ=30*\frac{36}{45} \\ \\ HJ=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is:

HJ = 24
