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 AB=15 cmAB = 15 \text{ cm} and BC=10 cmBC = 10 \text{ cm}.
The top base EFGH has side FG=6 cmFG = 6 \text{ cm}.
From the diagram, FGFG is parallel to BCBC, and EHEH is parallel to ABAB.
Therefore, FGFG corresponds to BCBC, and EHEH corresponds to ABAB.
The ratio of similarity kk is given by the ratio of corresponding sides:
