Step 1 :Given that rectangles ABCD and EFGH are similar, we can set up a proportion to find the length of FG: \(\frac{AB}{EF} = \frac{BC}{FG}\)
Step 2 :Substitute the given values: \(\frac{3}{9} = \frac{7}{FG}\)
Step 3 :Solve for FG: \(FG = \frac{7 \times 9}{3}\)
Step 4 :Calculate the value: \(FG = 21\)
Step 5 :\(\boxed{FG = 21 \text{ cm}}\)
