Answer:

The length AJ is 8.75 in

Explanation:

Find the length of AJ

we know that

Triangles HJK and HAB are similar

Remember that

If two figures are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

AH/HJ=HB/HK

Substitute the given values and solve for HJ

5.25/HJ=3/(3+5)

HJ=5.25*8/3

HJ=14 in

HJ=HA+AJ

AJ=HJ-HA

AJ=14-5.25=8.75 in
