BI=a →HI=FI=(3/4)x+a  FC=GB=(1/4)x → GI=(1/4)x+a  FG^2 +GI^2 =FI^2   ⇔ x^2 +((1/4)x+a)^2 =((3/4)x+a)^2   ⇔ x^2 +(1/(16))x^2 +(1/2)ax+a^2 =(9/(16))x^2 +1(1/2)ax+a^2   ⇔ (1/2)x^2 =ax  ⇔ a=(1/2)x  △FCJ∼△JBI → ((CJ)/(JB))= ((FJ)/(JI))=((FC)/(BI))=(((1/4)x)/((1/2)x))=(1/2)  CJ=(1/3)CB=(1/3)x  FJ=(1/3)FI=(1/3)[(3/4)x+(1/2)x]=(5/(12))x

$${BI}={a}\:\rightarrow{HI}={FI}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}{x}+{a} \\ $$$${FC}={GB}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}{x}\:\rightarrow\:{GI}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}{x}+{a} \\ $$$${FG}^{\mathrm{2}} +{GI}^{\mathrm{2}} ={FI}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Leftrightarrow\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}{x}+{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}{x}+{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Leftrightarrow\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{ax}+{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{16}}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{ax}+{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Leftrightarrow\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} ={ax} \\ $$$$\Leftrightarrow\:{a}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{x} \\ $$$$\bigtriangleup{FCJ}\sim\bigtriangleup{JBI}\:\rightarrow\:\frac{{CJ}}{{JB}}=\:\frac{{FJ}}{{JI}}=\frac{{FC}}{{BI}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}{x}}{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${CJ}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}{CB}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}{x} \\ $$$${FJ}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}{FI}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\left[\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}{x}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{x}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{12}}{x} \\ $$

NICE!  Even better if reasoning for △FCJ∼△JBI  be included (for perfectness only).

$$\mathcal{NICE}! \\ $$$$\mathcal{E}{ven}\:{better}\:{if}\:{reasoning}\:{for}\:\bigtriangleup{FCJ}\sim\bigtriangleup{JBI} \\ $$$${be}\:{included}\:\left({for}\:{perfectness}\:{only}\right). \\ $$
