Step-by-step explanation:
The missing length is 13 because,
Lets say the top triangle is A and the bottom triangle is B.
Triangle A gives us the side GF, and Triangle B gives us the sides TU and ST. Since the triangles are similar(as stated in the problem), we can pair 2 sides GF(A) and TU(B) which is 11:22.(one way I usually figure which sides are similar is by first- matching the hypotenuse, then checking which of the remaining two is longer.. if that made any sense). You can see that their relationship is x2 or /2 (In another word, from A to B is multiplication- ex: 11 * 2 is 22, and from B to A is division- ex 22/2 is 11.) Since the missing number is the hypotenuse of triangle A and you know the Hypotenuse of triangle B all you have to do is divide side TS by 2 to get side SF. So the missing side is 13.
Answer: 13
recall in a perfect square trinomial, the middle term is the tale-tell guy, we know the middle term is the product of 2 and the two other guys without the exponent, so in this case 6x = 2*√x² * √c.

Two squares are congruent if they have the same side length.
