Points A, B, C, D, E, and F lie, in that order, on \(\overline {AF}\), dividing it into five segments, each of length 1. Point G is not on the line through A and F. Point H lies on \(\overline {GD}\), and point J lies on \(\overline {GF}\). The line segments \(\overline {HC}\)\(\overline {JE}\), and \(\overline {AG}\) are parallel. Find \(\displaystyle\frac{HC}{JE}\).

By similar triangles, HC/JE = 7/5.

∠GAF = ∠HCD = ∠JEF = 45º

 

HC = √2

 

JE = √72 / 10

 

HC / JE = 5/3
