Question
**Title: Proving Geometric Equivalence**

**Objective:** Use the given information to prove that \(DG = FH\).

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram consists of two intersecting line segments forming geometric shapes. The points are labeled:

- \(D\) and \(H\) are on a horizontal line.
- \(E\) is between \(D\) and \(G\).
- \(F\) is vertically aligned with \(G\).
 
**Given Information:**
1. \(DE = FG\)
2. \(EG = GH\)

**Goal:**
Prove that \(DG = FH\).

**Detailed Explanation:**
- \(D\) and \(H\) lie on the same horizontal plane.
- The lines segment are:
  - Horizontal segments: \(DE\), \(EG\), and \(GH\).
  - Vertical segment: \(FG\).

Based on the given information and the configuration of the points, determine the lengths of the segments \(DG\) and \(FH\) and prove they are equal using the given conditions.
