Answer:

segment EF is twice as long as segment AB

Explanation:

Quadrilateral EFGH and quadrilateral ABCD are similar polygons. We can say that two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are equal to each other and their corresponding sides are proportional to each other.

From the image attached, we can see that side CD and side GH are corresponding sides. The ratio of their sides are to be proportional.

GH / CD = 12 / 6 = 2

Therefore Quadrilateral EFGH is twice the size of Quadrilateral ABCD. Since side EF and side AB are proportional, therefore segment EF is twice as long as segment AB
