Answer:

The length of Segment GF is 120

Explanation:

Given that EH = 80, and AB, GF, RH, and DI are parallel lines, we have;

DC ≅ DE ≅ EF ≅ FA Given

Therefore, CI ≅ HI ≅HG ≅ GB (Triangle proportionality theorem)

From where we have;

EH/GF =CH/CG (Intercept theorem otherwise known as Thales' theorem )

CH = 2 × CI (Transitive property of equality)

Also CG = 3 × CI (Transitive property of equality)

EH/GF = 2×CI/(3×CI) = 2/3

EH/GF = 2/3

80/GF = 2/3

Therefore we have;

Segment GF = 80 × 3/2 = 120

The length of Segment GF = 120.
