Answer:

lines EI and HG are parallel

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

In this problem

If triangles EFI and GFH are similar

then


(EF)/(FG)=(FI)/(FH)=(EI)/(GH)

substitute the given values


(6)/(3)=(FI)/(FH)=(EI)/(GH)


2=(FI)/(FH)=(EI)/(GH)

If lines EI and HG are parallel

then the triangles are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

therefore

lines EI and HG are parallel
