Answer :

If we have two similar triangles, that ratio of the corresponding sides are all the same. This means that:

[tex]\frac{GF}{JI}=\frac{EF}{HI}[/tex]

Substituting the lengths, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{44}{9}=\frac{25}{HI} \\ HI=25\cdot\frac{9}{44}=5.1136\ldots\approx5.1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
