Answer

EF=4$\frac{1}{6}$ FG=3$\frac{1}{3}$ GH=2$\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

AD=AB+BC+CD AD=5+4+3 AD=12 $\frac{EF}{EH}$=$\frac{AB}{AD}$ $\frac{EF}{10}$=$\frac{5}{12}$ 12EF=50 EF=4$\frac{1}{6}$ $\frac{FG}{EH}$=$\frac{BC}{AD}$ $\frac{FG}{10}$=$\frac{4}{12}$ 12FG=40 FG=3$\frac{1}{3}$ (AD)GH=(EH)CD 12GH=30 GH=2$\frac{1}{2}$
