(GEOMETRY HELP!) In the figure, △ABC ~ △EFG, Line segment AD is congruent to line segment DC., and Line segment EH is congruent to line segment HG.. Solve for x.

x = 15

x = 33

x = 57

x = 13

Please explain how to do this please!

The best possible guess I can get is 13 because of the ratio 2.2
substitute 13 to the x's use the values as a ratio.
It says that the triangles are "~" so that means they are quite likely similar.
11/5 = 2.2
33/15 = 2.2
