Answer:

FG = 25.6

Explanation:

ABC to DEC = 5:2

DEC to FEG = 1:4

so,

ABC to FEG = 5/2 × 1/4 = 5:8

that means the scaling factor from small to large is 8/5.

therefore,

EG = BC × 8/5 = 10×8/5 = 2×8 = 16

the side length ratio for ABC tells us

AB:BC:AC = 5 : 2 1/2 : 4

BC = 10

so,

AB:BC = 5 : 2 1/2 = 5 : 2.5

AB:10 = 5 : 2.5

2.5AB = 50

AB = 50/2.5 = 20

AC:AB = 4:5

AC:20 = 4:5

AC = 20×4/5 = 80/5 = 16

FG = AC × 8/5 = 16 × 8/5 = 128/5 = 25.6
