Step-by-step solution

Since JI intersects AH and divides it into two identical parts, we can claim that:

AI=IH=BJ=JG=3 AI=IH=BJ=JG=3

And since it is given that:

AB=HG=5 AB=HG=5

Rectangles ABJI and IJGH are equal and overlapping.

Let's look at rectangle ADEH where AH equals 6, therefore:

AH=DE=6 AH=DE=6

From this it follows that:

AH=CF=DE=6 AH=CF=DE=6

It is also given that:

BC=CD=GF=FE=2.5 BC=CD=GF=FE=2.5

Therefore we can claim that rectangles BCFG and CDEF are equal and overlapping.

Since side BG divides sides HE and AD into two equal parts:

AB=BD=HG=GE=5 AB=BD=HG=GE=5

And since:

AH=BG=DE=6 AH=BG=DE=6 we can claim that rectangles BDEG and ABGH are equal and overlapping.
