It was cut off when it was first written. Ask ScanSolve this question again for the full working.
Step 1: Calculate the length of EH.
The figure is a frustum of a right pyramid, which means the top and bottom bases are similar rectangles.
The bottom base ABCD has sides and .
The top base EFGH has side .
From the diagram, is parallel to , and is parallel to .
Therefore, corresponds to , and corresponds to .
The ratio of similarity is given by the ratio of corresponding sides:
