    Answer:

    Consider the trapezoid ABCD. In this trapezoid BC=a and AD=b.

    Since triangles BOC and AOD are somilar, then

    [tex] \dfrac{AO}{OC}=\dfrac{DO}{OB}=\dfrac{AD}{BC}=\dfrac{b}{a}. [\tex]

    OC/AO = OB/DO = BC/AD=/ba

    Triangles OAE and CAB are similar

    EO/BC=b/(a+b)

    EO=ab/(a+b)

    again

    OF=ba/(b+a)

    and.

    EF=2a/(a+b) is arequired length.
