Answer: 6

===========================================================

Work Shown:

(whole length)*(external part) = (whole length)*(external part)

(EG)*(FG) = (SG)*(HG)

(2x+4)*(4) = (x+5)*(5)

8x+16 = 5x+25

8x-5x = 25-16

3x = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

Use this x value to find EF

EF = 2x

EF = 2*3

EF = 6

For more information, search out "secant secant formula". It's not a typo that I wrote "secant" twice.
