1. **State the problem:** We have two similar polygons WXYZ and FIHG. We know some side lengths and need to find $GH$ and $WX$.
2. **Identify known sides:**
- Polygon WXYZ: $YX=4$, $ZY=9$, $WX$ unknown.
- Polygon FIHG: $FI=48$, $IH=24$, $HG=60$.
3. **Use similarity ratios:** Since polygons are similar, corresponding sides are proportional.
4. **Match corresponding sides:**
- $W \leftrightarrow F$
- $X \leftrightarrow I$
- $Y \leftrightarrow H$
- $Z \leftrightarrow G$
5. **Set up ratios:**
$$\frac{YX}{IH} = \frac{4}{24} = \frac{1}{6}$$
6. **Find $GH$ corresponding to $ZY$:**
$$\frac{ZY}{GH} = \frac{9}{GH} = \frac{1}{6} \implies GH = 9 \times 6 = 54$$
7. **Find $WX$ corresponding to $FI$:**
$$\frac{WX}{FI} = \frac{WX}{48} = \frac{1}{6} \implies WX = \frac{48}{6} = 8$$
**Final answers:**
$$GH = 54$$
$$WX = 8$$
