Answer:

14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If quadrilaterals HGEF and DCAB are similar, then the ratio of some corresponding sides is:

Substitute the given side lengths:

$\begin{gathered} (6)/(3)=(EG)/(7) \\ 2=(EG)/(7) \\ \implies EG=2*7 \\ EG=14 \end{gathered}$

The measurement of line EG is 14 units.
