EF + CD = 20 in (from AB misure)

Answer:

14 inches

Explanation:

If you think about it, if you were to shift the side DC to the left until it aligns with FE, you would get a straight line. This line would be parallel, and equal to AB, which can be determined by using the right angles, which are given. So AB = FE + DC, and the value of AB is given as well as the value of DC. So plugging in the known values you get 20 = FE + 6. Now subtract 6 from both sides and you get 14 = FE. So FE is 14 inches
