Explanation:
Okay, let me try to figure out this geometry problem. So, we have a square CDEG with CD = 3, and a rectangle BEFH where BE = 5. We need to find the length of BH. Hmm, let me start by visualizing the figure based on the Asymptote code provided.

First, the square CDEG. Since CD is 3 units, all sides of the square should be 3 units. Let me note down the coordinates from the Asymptote code. The points are given as A=(0,0), B=(3,0), C=(6,0), D=(9,0), Ep=(9,3), G=(6,3). Wait, Ep is labeled as E, so E is at (9,3), G is at (6,3). So square CDEG has points C=(6,0), D=(9,0), E=(9,3), G=(6,3). Let me confirm that: CD is from (6,0) to (9,0), which is 3 units. Then DE is from (9,0) to (9,3), which is 3 units up, so that makes sense. Then EG is from (9,3) to (6,3), which is 3 units left, and GC is from (6,3) back to (6,0), which is 3 units down. So yes, that's a square.

Now, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. Points B, E, F, H. Let me see their coordinates. Point B is (3,0), E is (9,3). So BE is one side of the rectangle. They said BE = 5. Wait, let me check the length of BE. The coordinates of B are (3,0) and E is (9,3). The distance between them is sqrt[(9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2] = sqrt[36 + 9] = sqrt[45] = 3*sqrt(5). But the problem says BE = 5. Wait, that contradicts? Did I misread?

Wait, hold on. Maybe BE isn't from B to E? Wait, the problem says quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. So BE is one of the sides? But according to coordinates in Asymptote code, BE is from B=(3,0) to E=(9,3). Unless there's a different configuration. Wait, maybe I need to check the Asymptote code again.

Looking at the Asymptote code:

pair A=(0,0), B=(3,0), C=(6,0), D=(9,0), Ep=(9,3), G=(6,3);
pair F0=bisectorpoint(B,2*Ep-B), H0=bisectorpoint(Ep,2*B-Ep);
pair H=extension(B,H0,A,G);
pair F=extension(Ep,F0,A,G);

So Ep is E, and coordinates of E are (9,3). So BE is from B(3,0) to E(9,3). But according to the problem statement, BE = 5. But the distance between B(3,0) and E(9,3) is sqrt[(9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2] = sqrt[36 + 9] = sqrt[45] ≈ 6.7, which is not 5. So there's a contradiction here. Maybe the Asymptote code is illustrative but not to scale? Or maybe the coordinates are different?

Wait, maybe the Asymptote code isn't using the actual lengths given in the problem? Because the problem says CD = 3 and BE = 5. However, in the Asymptote code, CD is from (6,0) to (9,0), which is 3 units, so that's consistent. But BE is supposed to be 5, but in the code, it's longer. Therefore, the Asymptote code might just be a general diagram, not to scale. Therefore, I shouldn't rely on the coordinates given in the code for actual measurements. Instead, I need to reconstruct the figure based on the problem's description.

Let me try to imagine or sketch the figure mentally. There is square CDEG with CD = 3. So CD is one side. Let me assume that square CDEG is drawn with points C, D, E, G. Let me try to assign coordinates accordingly. Let me place point C at (0,0) for simplicity. Then since CD = 3, point D would be at (3,0). Since it's a square, moving up from D, E would be at (3,3), and G would be at (0,3). But maybe the square is oriented differently? Wait, the Asymptote code had the square with points C=(6,0), D=(9,0), E=(9,3), G=(6,3). But maybe in the actual problem, the square is placed differently. However, given that BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5, we need to find BH.

Alternatively, maybe I need to assign coordinates based on the problem's parameters rather than the Asymptote code. Let me try that.

Let me consider square CDEG. Let me assign coordinates to make it easier. Let me assume that point C is at (0, 0), so since CD = 3, then D is at (3, 0). Since it's a square, moving up from D, E would be at (3, 3), and G would be at (0, 3). Wait, but then the square would be C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Then the square is on the bottom and left side? Maybe. Then quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. So points B, E, F, H. Let me think about where B is. Since the Asymptote code had points A, B, C, D, E, etc., perhaps there are other points? The Asymptote code also defines point A=(0,0), which is point C in the square? Wait, in the Asymptote code, point A is (0,0), which might correspond to another point in the figure. But since the problem doesn't mention point A, maybe it's just part of the Asymptote diagram?

Wait, perhaps I need to reconstruct the figure step by step. Let me try.

First, square CDEG with CD = 3. Let me assign coordinates. Let me assume that square CDEG is drawn such that CD is horizontal. Let me suppose that point C is at (0, 0), D is at (3, 0), E is at (3, 3), and G is at (0, 3). Then the square is in the first quadrant with side length 3.

Now, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. Let me note that BE is one of its sides, and BE = 5. So points B, E, F, H. Let me think. Since E is part of the square, which is at (3, 3) in my coordinate system. So point E is (3, 3). Then point B is another point. Let me assume that B is somewhere such that BE = 5. But where?

But we need more information. Also, the Asymptote code defines point B as (3,0), but in the square, point D is at (3,0) if I assign coordinates as above. So maybe in the Asymptote code, point B is D? Wait, no. Wait, in the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), B is (3,0), C is (6,0), D is (9,0). So in that code, CD is from (6,0) to (9,0), which is 3 units. Then E is (9,3), G is (6,3). So the square CDEG is from C(6,0) to D(9,0) to E(9,3) to G(6,3). Then BEFH is a rectangle. So point B is at (3,0), which is to the left of C(6,0). Then BE is from B(3,0) to E(9,3). So in this diagram, BE has length sqrt[(9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2] = sqrt[36 + 9] = sqrt[45] = 3*sqrt(5). But the problem states that BE = 5. Therefore, either there's a scaling factor, or the coordinates in Asymptote code are different.

Therefore, maybe the Asymptote code is just an example, and I shouldn't rely on the coordinates. Let me try to solve it using variables.

Let me consider square CDEG with side length 3. Let me assign coordinates with point C at (0,0), D at (3,0), E at (3,3), G at (0,3). Now, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5. So point B is somewhere, point E is (3,3). Let me assume that B is somewhere on the plane. Let me think about how BEFH is a rectangle.

In rectangle BEFH, BE is one side. Since it's a rectangle, adjacent sides are perpendicular. So if BE is a side, then BF and EH would be the other sides. Wait, but since it's a rectangle, BE is adjacent to BF and EH? Wait, the order of the letters is B-E-F-H? Or B-E-F-H? Wait, quadrilateral is BEFH, so connected as B to E to F to H to B? So BE is one side, EF is another, FH is another, HB is another. Since it's a rectangle, all angles are 90 degrees.

Therefore, BE is perpendicular to EF, EF is perpendicular to FH, etc. So if I can figure out coordinates for points B, E, F, H such that BE = 5, and BEFH is a rectangle.

But I need more information. Since E is part of square CDEG, so let me assume E is (3,3) as in my coordinate system. Then point B is somewhere. Let me denote coordinates. Let me assume coordinates for B as (x, y). Then BE is from (x,y) to E(3,3), so the vector BE is (3 - x, 3 - y). Since BEFH is a rectangle, then from E, moving along EF, which should be perpendicular to BE.

Alternatively, since it's a rectangle, the vector EF should be equal to the vector HB, and the vector BF should be equal to the vector EH. Maybe coordinate geometry is the way to go here.

Alternatively, maybe using slopes. Since BEFH is a rectangle, then BE is perpendicular to EF, and EF is parallel to BH, etc.

But without knowing where B is, this seems difficult. Maybe there are other clues in the Asymptote code? The Asymptote code defines point A=(0,0), B=(3,0), etc. Maybe there's another point A mentioned in the problem? The problem didn't mention point A, but the Asymptote code includes it. Maybe the diagram is connected?

Looking at the Asymptote code, the figure is drawn with H--B--Ep--F--A--D--Ep--G--C. So connecting H to B to E (Ep) to F to A to D to E to G to C. Also, labels: A is at the bottom left, B at (3,0), C at (6,0), D at (9,0), E at (9,3), F and H somewhere, G at (6,3). Then, there are lines connecting H to B, B to E, E to F, F to A, A to D, D to E, E to G, G to C.

So maybe point A is connected to D and to F? Also, since A is at (0,0) in the Asymptote code, but in the problem statement, maybe A is another point? Wait, the problem didn't mention point A. Maybe the Asymptote code includes it for drawing purposes, but the problem is about square CDEG and rectangle BEFH. Maybe point A is not relevant to the problem except in the diagram? So perhaps we can ignore point A? Or maybe BH is connected to A?

Alternatively, maybe the figure is constructed such that lines from A to D and A to F are drawn? Maybe there are some intersections?

Alternatively, since the Asymptote code defines H as the intersection of B-H0 and A-G, and F as the intersection of Ep-F0 and A-G. So lines from B to H0 and A to G intersect at H, and lines from Ep to F0 and A to G intersect at F.

But maybe this is too complex without seeing the figure. However, since I don't have the figure, I need to rely on the description and the Asymptote code.

Alternatively, maybe there's some coordinate system we can assign based on the Asymptote code, and then scale appropriately? Since in the Asymptote code, BE has length sqrt(45) but the problem says BE = 5, so perhaps there's a scaling factor?

Let me check. If in the Asymptote code, BE is 3*sqrt(5), and in the problem it's 5, then the scaling factor k is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Therefore, all lengths in the Asymptote diagram are scaled by sqrt(5)/3 to get the actual lengths in the problem. Then BH in the Asymptote code would be scaled by the same factor. However, we need to calculate BH in the Asymptote code first?

But maybe that's too involved. Alternatively, since the Asymptote code defines points with coordinates, maybe I can use those coordinates, compute BH there, and then scale it according to the given BE length?

In the Asymptote code, BE is from B=(3,0) to E=(9,3), which we already calculated as 3*sqrt(5). The problem says BE = 5, so the scaling factor is 5/(3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3 as above. Then BH in the Asymptote code can be calculated, then multiplied by sqrt(5)/3 to get the actual BH.

So let's compute BH in the Asymptote code. To do that, need to find coordinates of H. From Asymptote code:

pair H=extension(B,H0,A,G);

So H is the intersection of line BH0 and line AG. Also, H0 is defined as bisectorpoint(Ep,2*B - Ep). Wait, what does bisectorpoint mean? In Asymptote, bisectorpoint might be referring to some construction, maybe the reflection or something? Wait, the Asymptote code defines:

pair F0=bisectorpoint(B,2*Ep-B), H0=bisectorpoint(Ep,2*B-Ep);

Hmm, not sure. Maybe bisectorpoint is a function that finds a point related to angle bisectors? Or maybe it's a typo or specific function. Alternatively, maybe it's a way to find a reflection?

Alternatively, in some Asymptote libraries, bisectorpoint might be defined as a point that is used in constructing bisectors. Alternatively, given that 2*Ep - B would be reflection of B over Ep? Wait, if you have a point P and a point Q, then 2Q - P is the reflection of P over Q. So if you have 2*Ep - B, that would be reflecting point B over point Ep. Similarly, 2*B - Ep would be reflecting Ep over B.

Therefore, perhaps bisectorpoint(B, 2*Ep - B) is the midpoint between B and its reflection over Ep? Wait, if you have a point and its reflection, then the midpoint would be Ep? Wait, no. If you have a point P and its reflection over Q is P', then the midpoint between P and P' is Q. So if bisectorpoint is taking some sort of midpoint or something?

Alternatively, maybe the Asymptote code is using some specific construction for the rectangle BEFH. Maybe F0 and H0 are points used to define F and H?

Since F is defined as extension(Ep, F0, A, G); meaning F is the intersection of line Ep-F0 and line A-G. Similarly, H is the intersection of B-H0 and A-G.

Alternatively, since I might not have the exact definitions of bisectorpoint, maybe I can think geometrically. Let me try to reconstruct.

Given that BEFH is a rectangle. In the Asymptote code, point F is on line AG, and point H is on line AG? Wait, H is the intersection of line BH0 and AG, and F is the intersection of Ep-F0 and AG. So lines AG and Ep-F0 intersect at F, and lines AG and BH0 intersect at H. Therefore, both F and H lie on line AG. Therefore, in the diagram, points F and H are on line AG. So AG is a line connecting A to G. In the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), G is (6,3). So line AG goes from (0,0) to (6,3). Therefore, parametric equations for AG can be given.

But in this case, since we need to find coordinates of H and F on AG such that BEFH is a rectangle. Maybe I can parametrize AG and find F and H accordingly.

But given that in the Asymptote code, the rectangle BEFH has BE as one side, and since B is (3,0), E is (9,3), then the rectangle BEFH has BE as one side, and since it's a rectangle, the other sides must be perpendicular. Therefore, if I can find points F and H such that EF is perpendicular to BE, and FH is parallel to BE, etc.

Alternatively, since F and H are on AG, which is from A(0,0) to G(6,3). Let me parametrize AG. The parametric equations for AG can be written as x = 6t, y = 3t, where t ranges from 0 to 1. So any point on AG is (6t, 3t).

Now, point F is on AG, so let me denote F as (6t, 3t) for some t. Similarly, point H is on AG, so let me denote H as (6s, 3s) for some s.

Since BEFH is a rectangle, we can use vector methods or coordinate geometry to find relations between t and s.

First, let me recall coordinates:

Point B is (3,0)

Point E is (9,3)

Point F is (6t, 3t)

Point H is (6s, 3s)

Since BEFH is a rectangle, then vector BE should be equal to vector FH, and vector BF should be equal to vector EH.

Wait, in rectangle, opposite sides are equal and parallel. So BE is equal and parallel to FH, and BF is equal and parallel to EH.

Alternatively, we can use slopes. Let me check.

First, vector BE is E - B = (9-3, 3-0) = (6, 3)

Vector FH is H - F = (6s - 6t, 3s - 3t) = 6(s - t), 3(s - t))

So for BE and FH to be equal, we need (6, 3) = 6(s - t), 3(s - t)), which implies that s - t = 1. Therefore, s = t + 1.

Similarly, vector BF is F - B = (6t - 3, 3t - 0) = (6t - 3, 3t)

Vector EH is H - E = (6s - 9, 3s - 3)

Since BF should be equal to EH, then:

6t - 3 = 6s - 9

3t = 3s - 3

Simplify the second equation: 3t = 3s - 3 => t = s - 1.

But earlier, from the first equation, we had s = t + 1. Which is the same as t = s - 1. So this is consistent. Therefore, the two equations are dependent, so we need another condition.

Since BEFH is a rectangle, the adjacent sides should be perpendicular. For example, vector BE and vector BF should be perpendicular.

Vector BE is (6, 3)

Vector BF is (6t - 3, 3t)

Their dot product should be zero:

6*(6t - 3) + 3*(3t) = 0

Compute:

36t - 18 + 9t = 0 => 45t - 18 = 0 => 45t = 18 => t = 18/45 = 2/5.

Therefore, t = 2/5. Then s = t + 1 = 2/5 + 5/5 = 7/5.

Therefore, coordinates of F is (6*(2/5), 3*(2/5)) = (12/5, 6/5)

Coordinates of H is (6*(7/5), 3*(7/5)) = (42/5, 21/5)

Therefore, point H is at (42/5, 21/5). Therefore, BH is the distance from B(3, 0) to H(42/5, 21/5).

Let me compute that.

First, convert 3 to fifths: 3 = 15/5. So coordinates of B are (15/5, 0).

Difference in x-coordinate: 42/5 - 15/5 = 27/5

Difference in y-coordinate: 21/5 - 0 = 21/5

Therefore, distance BH is sqrt[(27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2] = sqrt[(729 + 441)/25] = sqrt[1170/25] = sqrt(1170)/5.

Simplify sqrt(1170). Let's factor 1170:

Divide by 9: 1170 / 9 = 130. So sqrt(9*130) = 3*sqrt(130). Therefore, BH is 3*sqrt(130)/5. However, in the Asymptote code's diagram, BE was supposed to be 3*sqrt(5), but in the problem, BE is 5. Therefore, we need to scale this result accordingly.

Wait, but this BH is from the Asymptote code's coordinates. However, in the problem, BE is 5 instead of 3*sqrt(5). So the scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Therefore, the actual length of BH is BH_in_code * scaling_factor.

So BH_in_code is (3*sqrt(130))/5. Multiply by sqrt(5)/3:

(3*sqrt(130)/5) * (sqrt(5)/3) ) = (sqrt(130)*sqrt(5))/5 = sqrt(650)/5.

But sqrt(650) can be simplified. sqrt(650) = sqrt(25*26) = 5*sqrt(26). Therefore:

sqrt(650)/5 = 5*sqrt(26)/5 = sqrt(26). Wait, but that's odd. Wait, let me check the calculations again.

Wait, first, BH in the Asymptote code was sqrt[(27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2] = sqrt( (27^2 + 21^2 ) / 25 ). Let me compute 27^2 + 21^2:

27^2 = 729, 21^2 = 441, total is 729 + 441 = 1170. Therefore sqrt(1170)/5.

But then scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)).

So scaled BH is sqrt(1170)/5 * 5/(3*sqrt(5)) ) = sqrt(1170)/(3*sqrt(5)).

Simplify sqrt(1170)/sqrt(5) = sqrt(1170/5) = sqrt(234). Therefore, BH = sqrt(234)/3. Let me compute sqrt(234).

234 factors into 9*26, so sqrt(234) = 3*sqrt(26). Therefore, BH = 3*sqrt(26)/3 = sqrt(26). Wait, so BH is sqrt(26)? But the problem says to express the answer as a mixed number. Wait, that suggests that maybe my approach is wrong? Because sqrt(26) is irrational, and a mixed number is a fraction of integer and fraction, so maybe my scaling approach is incorrect?

Alternatively, perhaps I made a mistake in the scaling?

Wait, let's check. In the Asymptote code, BE is from (3,0) to (9,3), which is length sqrt( (6)^2 + (3)^2 ) = sqrt(45) = 3*sqrt(5). In the problem, BE = 5. Therefore, the scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Therefore, all lengths in the figure are scaled by this factor. Therefore, if BH in the Asymptote code is sqrt(1170)/5, then scaled BH is sqrt(1170)/5 * sqrt(5)/3.

Wait, let me recast:

Original length BE: 3*sqrt(5)

Scaled length BE: 5 = (3*sqrt(5)) * k => k = 5/(3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3

Original BH: sqrt( (27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2 ) = sqrt( 729 + 441 ) / 5 = sqrt(1170)/5

Scaled BH: sqrt(1170)/5 * sqrt(5)/3 = sqrt(1170 * 5) / (5 * 3) = sqrt(5850)/15

Wait, sqrt(5850). Let me see:

5850 = 25 * 234. So sqrt(25*234) = 5*sqrt(234). Therefore, scaled BH = 5*sqrt(234)/15 = sqrt(234)/3.

But sqrt(234) is sqrt(9*26) = 3*sqrt(26). Therefore, BH = 3*sqrt(26)/3 = sqrt(26). So BH is sqrt(26). However, the problem asks for the answer as a mixed number, which suggests that maybe BH is a rational number? But sqrt(26) is irrational. Therefore, I must have made a mistake.

Alternatively, perhaps my entire approach is wrong. Maybe I shouldn't use the Asymptote code's coordinates, since they seem to lead to an inconsistent result.

Let me try another approach. Let's forget the coordinates from Asymptote and start fresh.

We have square CDEG with CD = 3. Let me assign coordinates with C at (0, 0), D at (3, 0), E at (3, 3), G at (0, 3).

Quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5. Let me assume that point B is somewhere not on the square. Let me think about how BEFH is connected.

Assuming that BE is one side of the rectangle, and since E is part of the square, then maybe B is connected to E, then from E goes to F, then to H, then back to B.

Since it's a rectangle, the sides BE and EF are perpendicular. So if I can find coordinates of B and F such that BE = 5 and BE ⊥ EF.

Alternatively, since the problem involves BH, which is another side of the rectangle? Not necessarily. Wait, in rectangle BEFH, BH would be a diagonal? Or a side? Wait, the rectangle has four sides: BE, EF, FH, HB. So BH is a side? Wait, depending on the order. If it's B-E-F-H-B, then BH is a side? No, the sides are BE, EF, FH, HB. Wait, HB is the last side, connecting H back to B. Therefore, BH is one of the sides, so BH is equal in length to EF. Wait, no, in a rectangle, opposite sides are equal. So BE is equal to FH, and EF is equal to HB. Therefore, if BE = 5, then FH = 5, and EF = HB. So to find BH, we need to find EF, which is equal to HB.

But how can we find EF?

Alternatively, since we have square CDEG, maybe there's some relation between the rectangle BEFH and the square? Maybe points F and H lie on some lines connected to the square?

Looking back to the Asymptote code, which drew lines from A to D to E to G to C, and also from H to B to E to F to A. Maybe point A is connected to D and F, and H is connected to B? If that's the case, maybe lines AG and something else intersect at F and H?

Alternatively, since I have the coordinates from the Asymptote code and found BH to be sqrt(26), which is approximately 5.1, but since the answer needs to be a mixed number, perhaps there's an error in my calculation?

Wait, let me check my previous calculation again.

In the Asymptote code's coordinates:

B is (3, 0), H is (42/5, 21/5). Therefore, BH coordinates difference:

x: 42/5 - 3 = 42/5 - 15/5 = 27/5

y: 21/5 - 0 = 21/5

So distance BH is sqrt( (27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2 ) = sqrt(729 + 441)/5 = sqrt(1170)/5. As before.

Then scaling factor for BE: original BE in Asymptote is sqrt( (9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2 ) = sqrt(36 + 9) = sqrt(45). Problem says BE = 5, so scale factor k is 5 / sqrt(45) = 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Then scaled BH is sqrt(1170)/5 * sqrt(5)/3.

Wait, sqrt(1170) = sqrt(45 * 26) = sqrt(45) * sqrt(26). Therefore:

sqrt(45) * sqrt(26) / 5 * sqrt(5)/3 = [sqrt(45)*sqrt(5)/15] * sqrt(26)

But sqrt(45)*sqrt(5) = sqrt(225) = 15

Therefore, [15 / 15] * sqrt(26) = sqrt(26). So yes, BH is sqrt(26). So why does the problem say to express as a mixed number? Maybe the problem is not in the Asymptote code's coordinate system but there is a different configuration?

Alternatively, perhaps my assumption about the coordinate system is wrong. Let me try to approach this problem without relying on the Asymptote code coordinates.

Let me consider square CDEG with CD = 3, so all sides are 3. Let me assume coordinates with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me denote point B somewhere. Let me think that since BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5, and assuming that F and H are connected to the square, maybe through lines intersecting at A or something else?

Alternatively, maybe BH is related to similar triangles or something.

Wait, going back to the initial Asymptote code, the rectangle BEFH is constructed such that F and H are on AG. If AG is a line from A to G, which in my coordinate system would be from A(0,0) to G(0,3)? Wait no, in my coordinate system earlier, G is (0,3). But in the Asymptote code, A was (0,0), G was (6,3). Maybe the Asymptote code's AG is from (0,0) to (6,3). Let me assume that in the problem's context, AG is a line from A to G, where A is a point on the square? Maybe A is a point outside the square?

Alternatively, since the problem didn't mention point A, but the Asymptote code includes it, perhaps there is more information. For instance, in the Asymptote code, the line from A to D is drawn, which is from (0,0) to (9,0), which is the same as CD in the Asymptote code. Also, line from A to F is drawn. If we consider that in the problem, the square is CDEG, and there is a point A connected to D and to F, maybe implying that A is on the extension of CD or something?

This is getting too vague. Maybe I need to think differently. Let me consider that in the Asymptote code's diagram, with the coordinates, the answer BH is sqrt(26), but since the problem asks for a mixed number, which is a fraction, maybe I messed up the scaling?

Wait, sqrt(26) is approximately 5.1, which is close to 5.1, but maybe there's a calculation error in the Asymptote code's BH?

Alternatively, perhaps there's another way to find BH using coordinate geometry with the given BE = 5.

Let me try this approach:

Let me set square CDEG with coordinates C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3).

Let me suppose that BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5. Let me assume point B is somewhere, and E is (3,3).

Let me assume that BE is a vector. Let me denote coordinates of B as (x, y). Then vector BE is (3 - x, 3 - y). The length BE = 5, so sqrt[(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2] = 5.

Also, since BEFH is a rectangle, then vector EF should be equal to vector BH, and vector BF should be equal to vector EH. Alternatively, since it's a rectangle, vectors BE and BF should be perpendicular, so their dot product is zero.

Wait, if BE and BF are adjacent sides, then they are perpendicular. So if I can define point F such that BF is perpendicular to BE.

Wait, but without knowing where F is, it's difficult. However, if we assume that point F lies on AG, as in the Asymptote code, then maybe AG is a line that we can define.

But since we don't have information about point A, this is unclear. Alternatively, perhaps point A is a point on CD or something?

Wait, in the Asymptote code, point A is (0,0), which in my coordinate system would be point C. But in the square CDEG, C is (0,0), D is (3,0), E is (3,3), G is (0,3). So maybe in the Asymptote code, point A is C? But the problem didn't mention it. This is getting too confusing.

Alternatively, let me think that since BEFH is a rectangle, and BE = 5, then BH is one of the sides or diagonals. If I can relate it to the square.

Wait, suppose that BH is the side of the rectangle, then it would be equal to EF. If I can find coordinates for F such that EF is perpendicular to BE and EF has some relation.

Alternatively, maybe using coordinate geometry with the square and assuming AG is some line.

Wait, if I go back to the Asymptote code's coordinates, where A is (0,0), G is (6,3), and AG is a line from (0,0) to (6,3). If in the problem, AG is the same line, then maybe in the actual problem, the coordinates are scaled such that BE = 5.

Wait, in the Asymptote code, BE is from (3,0) to (9,3), which has length 3√5. If we scale this to make BE = 5, then scaling factor is 5/(3√5) = √5/3. Then BH in the Asymptote code, which is sqrt(1170)/5, when scaled, becomes sqrt(1170)/5 * √5/3 = sqrt(1170 * 5)/15 = sqrt(5850)/15.

Now, 5850 = 25 * 234, so sqrt(5850) = 5 * sqrt(234). Then sqrt(234) = sqrt(9*26) = 3*sqrt(26). So total is 5*3*sqrt(26) / 15 = (15*sqrt(26))/15 = sqrt(26). So BH is sqrt(26). But the problem says to express as a mixed number, which is a fraction like a + b/c. Since sqrt(26) is irrational, this suggests that either the problem expects a simplified radical form, or there is an error in my process.

Wait, the original problem says "how many units is BH?" and "Express your answer as a mixed number." So it must be a rational number. Therefore, there must be a mistake in my previous reasoning.

Let me try another approach. Let's suppose that the Asymptote code is accurate, and there's a misunderstanding on my part regarding the configuration.

In the Asymptote code, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. Points B, E, F, H. From the code, it's constructed by defining F0 and H0 as bisectorpoints, then finding F and H as intersections. However, since I don't know the exact definition of bisectorpoint, maybe it's a specific construction. Perhaps it's related to finding midpoints or something?

Alternatively, perhaps the rectangle BEFH is such that F and H are on AG, and AG is a line from A to G, where A is another point. If in the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), G is (6,3), so AG is from (0,0) to (6,3), which has slope 3/6 = 1/2. Let me consider that in the actual problem, this line AG is present, and points F and H are on it.

If I can find coordinates of F and H on AG such that BEFH is a rectangle, with BE = 5.

Let me define coordinates again with CDEG as square with CD = 3. Let me assume coordinates:

Let me take C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me assume that point A is (0,0), same as C? Or is A another point?

Wait, in the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), which is the same as C in the square. But in the square CDEG, point C is (0,0). So maybe A is C? But then line AG would be from C(0,0) to G(0,3), which is vertical line x=0. But in the Asymptote code, AG is from A(0,0) to G(6,3), which is different. So maybe in the actual problem, point A is not part of the square?

This is too confusing without the exact diagram. Let me try to think differently.

Since the answer is supposed to be a mixed number, and my previous result was sqrt(26), which is not a mixed number, there must be a different approach.

Let me consider coordinates again, assuming that in the actual problem, BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5, and BH is to be found. Let me use coordinate geometry with square CDEG.

Let me set coordinate system with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me assume that point B is somewhere, say, along the x-axis, at (x, 0). Let me assume that. Then BE is from (x, 0) to (3,3), and its length is 5. So:

√[(3 - x)^2 + (3 - 0)^2] = 5

=> (3 - x)^2 + 9 = 25

=> (3 - x)^2 = 16

=> 3 - x = ±4

=> x = 3 ± 4

So x = 7 or x = -1

Since the square is from x=0 to x=3, and if B is outside, then x could be 7 or -1. Let's take x = 7, so B is at (7, 0). Or x = -1, B is at (-1, 0).

Let me choose B at (7, 0). Now, BE is from (7,0) to (3,3), which is length 5, as desired.

Now, BEFH is a rectangle. Let me find coordinates of F and H.

Since it's a rectangle, vector BE is (-4, 3) (from B(7,0) to E(3,3)). To find vector BF, which should be perpendicular to BE.

Wait, if BEFH is a rectangle, then at point E, the side EF should be perpendicular to BE. So vector EF should be perpendicular to vector BE.

Vector BE is E - B = (3 - 7, 3 - 0) = (-4, 3)

So vector EF should be perpendicular to (-4, 3). Let me denote point F as (x, y). Then vector EF = (x - 3, y - 3). This should satisfy:

(-4)*(x - 3) + 3*(y - 3) = 0

=> -4x + 12 + 3y - 9 = 0

=> -4x + 3y + 3 = 0

=> 4x - 3y = 3

Also, since BEFH is a rectangle, vector BF should be equal to vector EH. Vector BF = F - B = (x - 7, y - 0) = (x - 7, y). Vector EH = H - E = (Hx - 3, Hy - 3). But since it's a rectangle, BF = EH, so:

x - 7 = Hx - 3 => Hx = x - 7 + 3 = x - 4

y = Hy - 3 => Hy = y + 3

Additionally, since it's a rectangle, vector FH should be equal to vector BE. Vector FH = H - F = (Hx - x, Hy - y) = (x - 4 - x, y + 3 - y) = (-4, 3), which matches vector BE. So that checks out.

But we need more information to find x and y. What else do we know? Perhaps that point H lies on some line? In the Asymptote code, H is on AG. If we can define AG in this coordinate system, maybe?

If AG is a line from A to G. But where is A? In the Asymptote code, point A was (0,0), which is our point C(0,0). If A is C(0,0), then G is (0,3). So AG is from (0,0) to (0,3), which is the vertical line x=0. But then point H is on AG, which is x=0. So H has x-coordinate 0. From earlier, Hx = x - 4. So 0 = x - 4 => x = 4.

Therefore, x = 4. Then from equation 4x - 3y = 3: 4*4 - 3y = 3 => 16 - 3y = 3 => -3y = -13 => y = 13/3 ≈ 4.333...

Therefore, point F is (4, 13/3). Then point H is (0, y + 3) = (0, 13/3 + 3) = (0, 13/3 + 9/3) = (0, 22/3).

Now, we need to find BH, which is the distance from B(7, 0) to H(0, 22/3).

Compute BH:

Δx = 0 - 7 = -7

Δy = 22/3 - 0 = 22/3

Distance BH = √[(-7)^2 + (22/3)^2] = √[49 + 484/9] = √[(441 + 484)/9] = √[925/9] = √925 / 3.

Simplify √925: 925 = 25 * 37, so √925 = 5√37. Therefore, BH = 5√37 / 3. Still irrational, and not a mixed number. Hmm, this is confusing.

But wait, in this scenario, we assumed that A is (0,0), which is point C, and AG is vertical line x=0. However, in the problem statement, there is no mention of point A, so this might not be valid. Also, the answer is not a mixed number. Therefore, I must be making wrong assumptions.

Alternatively, let me assume that AG is a different line. In the Asymptote code, AG was from A(0,0) to G(6,3), which is a line with slope 3/6 = 1/2. If I assume that in this problem, AG is this line, then in our coordinate system, let me define A as (0,0) and G as (6,3). But then how does this relate to the square CDEG?

If CDEG is a square with CD = 3, and in this case, if C is (0,0), D is (3,0), E is (3,3), G is (0,3), but then G is (0,3), while in the Asymptote code, G is (6,3). So it's a scaling. If I scale the square CDEG to have G at (6,3), then the square would have side length 3, but from C(0,0) to D(3,0) to E(3,3) to G(0,3). To have G at (6,3), we would need to scale it. This is getting too convoluted.

Alternatively, maybe the answer is 14/3, which is a mixed number, 4 2/3. Let me check if that makes sense.

If BH is 14/3, let's see in my previous calculation where I had BH = 5√37 / 3 ≈ 5*6.08 / 3 ≈ 10.13, which is not 14/3 ≈ 4.666. So no.

Alternatively, maybe my assumption of B at (7,0) is wrong. Let me try B at (-1, 0). Let's see.

If B is at (-1, 0), then BE is from (-1, 0) to (3,3), length sqrt[(4)^2 + (3)^2] = 5, which matches. Now, let's apply similar logic.

Vector BE is (3 - (-1), 3 - 0) = (4, 3). Perpendicular vector EF should satisfy dot product zero: (4, 3) • (x - 3, y - 3) = 0 => 4(x - 3) + 3(y - 3) = 0 => 4x - 12 + 3y - 9 = 0 => 4x + 3y = 21.

Also, if we assume that H is on AG, which in this case might be from A(0,0) to G(6,3), but how is this related to the square? If CDEG is the square with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3), then AG would be from A(0,0) to G(0,3). But if we assume AG is from A(0,0) to G(6,3), then it's a different line. Let me assume AG is from A(0,0) to G(6,3), as in the Asymptote code.

Then, points F and H are on AG. Parametric equations for AG: x = 6t, y = 3t, t ∈ [0, 1].

Let me denote F as (6t, 3t), and H as (6s, 3s).

Since BEFH is a rectangle, vector BE = (4, 3), vector BF = F - B = (6t - (-1), 3t - 0) = (6t + 1, 3t). Since in rectangle, vectors BE and BF should be perpendicular? No, in a rectangle, adjacent sides are perpendicular. If BE and BF are adjacent sides, then they should be perpendicular. Let me check:

Dot product of BE and BF should be zero: (4, 3) • (6t + 1, 3t) = 4*(6t + 1) + 3*(3t) = 24t + 4 + 9t = 33t + 4 = 0 => 33t = -4 => t = -4/33.

But t = -4/33 would place F outside the segment AG, but it's possible. Let me proceed.

Then, point F is (6t, 3t) = (6*(-4/33), 3*(-4/33)) = (-24/33, -12/33) = (-8/11, -4/11).

Now, vector BF is (6t + 1, 3t) = (6*(-4/33) + 1, 3*(-4/33)) = (-24/33 + 33/33, -12/33) = (9/33, -12/33) = (3/11, -4/11).

Since BEFH is a rectangle, vector EF should be equal to vector BH. Let me compute vector EF: F - E = (-8/11 - 3, -4/11 - 3) = (-8/11 - 33/11, -4/11 - 33/11) = (-41/11, -37/11).

Vector BH is H - B = (6s - (-1), 3s - 0) = (6s + 1, 3s).

Since EF = BH, we have:

-41/11 = 6s + 1 => 6s = -41/11 - 11/11 = -52/11 => s = -52/(11*6) = -26/33

And -37/11 = 3s => s = -37/(11*3) = -37/33

Wait, this is inconsistent: from the x-component, s = -26/33, from the y-component s = -37/33. Contradiction. Therefore, this approach is invalid.

This suggests that my assumption that BE and BF are perpendicular is wrong. Maybe instead, vector BE and vector EF are perpendicular?

In a rectangle, adjacent sides are perpendicular. If BE and EF are adjacent sides, then they should be perpendicular. Let me try that.

Vector BE = (4, 3)

Vector EF = F - E = (6t - 3, 3t - 3)

Their dot product should be zero:

4*(6t - 3) + 3*(3t - 3) = 0

24t - 12 + 9t - 9 = 0

33t - 21 = 0 => 33t = 21 => t = 21/33 = 7/11

So t = 7/11, so point F is (6*(7/11), 3*(7/11)) = (42/11, 21/11)

Now, vector EF = F - E = (42/11 - 33/11, 21/11 - 33/11) = (9/11, -12/11)

Then, since BEFH is a rectangle, vector BF should be equal to vector EH.

Vector BF = F - B = (42/11 - (-1), 21/11 - 0) = (42/11 + 11/11, 21/11) = (53/11, 21/11)

Vector EH = H - E = (Hx - 3, Hy - 3). Since H is on AG, let's denote H as (6s, 3s). Therefore, vector EH = (6s - 3, 3s - 3). Setting this equal to BF:

6s - 3 = 53/11 => 6s = 53/11 + 33/11 = 86/11 => s = 86/(11*6) = 43/33

3s - 3 = 21/11 => 3s = 21/11 + 33/11 = 54/11 => s = 18/11

But 43/33 ≠ 18/11 (which is 54/33). Contradiction again. Hence, inconsistency.

This suggests that my assumption about the position of A and G is incorrect. This problem is too ambiguous without the exact diagram.

Given the time I've spent and the lack of progress, I think I should consider that in the initial Asymptote code, with the scaling, BH is sqrt(26), and perhaps the problem expects this as the answer, even though it's not a mixed number. However, since the problem specifies to express as a mixed number, I must have made a mistake.

Wait, let me go back to the first calculation where in the Asymptote code, BH was (27/5, 21/5) from B(3,0). Let me calculate this distance again:

Δx = 27/5 - 3 = 27/5 - 15/5 = 12/5

Δy = 21/5 - 0 = 21/5

Wait, wait, earlier I thought BH was from (3,0) to (42/5, 21/5), which is (42/5 - 15/5, 21/5 - 0) = (27/5, 21/5). But if I calculate the distance, it's sqrt((27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2) = sqrt(729 + 441)/5 = sqrt(1170)/5. But if I miscalculated earlier when I thought it was (27/5, 21/5), but in the scaling, if BE in the Asymptote code is 3√5 and in the problem it's 5, then BH in the Asymptote code is sqrt(1170)/5, scaled by sqrt(5)/3 gives sqrt(234)/3, which is sqrt(9*26)/3 = 3√26/3 = √26. But √26 is approximately 5.1, and if the problem wants a mixed number, maybe the actual answer is 14/3?

Wait, if I assume that in the Asymptote code, the coordinates are such that BH is 14/3, but with BE = 3√5, then scaling factor would be (14/3) / sqrt(1170)/5, which is complicated.

Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake in assuming the coordinates. Let me try to use similar triangles or other methods.

Let me consider that in the Asymptote code, the rectangle BEFH has BE and BH as sides. If I can find the ratio of BE to BH in the diagram, then apply it to the given BE = 5.

In the Asymptote code, BE is 3√5 and BH is sqrt(1170)/5. Let me compute the ratio BH/BE = [sqrt(1170)/5] / [3√5] = sqrt(1170)/[15√5] = sqrt(1170/5)/15 = sqrt(234)/15 = sqrt(9*26)/15 = 3√26/15 = √26/5. So BH = BE * √26/5. Given that BE = 5, then BH = 5 * √26/5 = √26. Again, same result.

Since the problem asks for a mixed number, and my answer is irrational, there must be a miscalculation or misinterpretation. Given the time I've spent, I think I should check if the original Asymptote code's BH is 14/3.

Wait, let me recalculate BH in the Asymptote code with B(3,0) and H(42/5, 21/5). Let me compute 42/5 = 8.4, 21/5 = 4.2. So from B(3,0) to H(8.4, 4.2). The x difference is 5.4, y difference is 4.2. 5.4 is 27/5, 4.2 is 21/5. So distance is sqrt((27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2) = sqrt((729 + 441)/25) = sqrt(1170/25) = sqrt(1170)/5. Now, 1170 = 117 * 10 = 9 * 13 * 10 = 9 * 130. So sqrt(1170) = 3√130. Therefore, BH = 3√130 / 5. If BE is 3√5, then the scaling factor is 5 / (3√5) = √5/3. So scaled BH is (3√130 / 5) * (√5/3) = √130 * √5 / 5 = √650 / 5 = √(25*26)/5 = 5√26 / 5 = √26. Still the same.

Given that, and the problem asks for a mixed number, I must have misunderstood the problem. Maybe BH is not the side but the diagonal? Let me check.

In the Asymptote code, if BE is 3√5 and BH is √26, then the diagonal of the rectangle would be sqrt( (3√5)^2 + (√26)^2 ) = sqrt(45 + 26) = sqrt(71). But this is speculation.

Alternatively, maybe the problem has a typo, or I misread it. Let me check the problem statement again:

"Quadrilateral CDEG is a square with CD = 3, and quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. If BE = 5, how many units is BH? Express your answer as a mixed number."

Wait, maybe BH is not a side but a diagonal? If in the rectangle BEFH, BH is the diagonal, then using BE = 5 and EH = ?

If I can find EH, then BH = sqrt(5^2 + EH^2). But how?

Alternatively, since in the Asymptote code, if BE is 3√5 and BH is √26, then the diagonal would be sqrt( (3√5)^2 + (√26)^2 ) = sqrt(45 + 26) = sqrt(71). But this is not helpful.

Alternatively, perhaps the answer is 14/3, and my calculation is wrong. Let me assume that in the Asymptote code, BH is 14/3, and scale it.

If in the Asymptote code, BE is 3√5 and BH is 14/3, then scaling factor k is (14/3) / (3√5) = 14/(9√5). Then actual BE would be 3√5 * k = 3√5 * 14/(9√5) = 14/3, which is not 5. So no.

Alternatively, if the actual BE is 5, then in the Asymptote code, BE is 3√5, so k = 5 / (3√5) = √5/3. If in the Asymptote code, BH is 14/3, then actual BH is 14/3 * √5/3 = 14√5/9, still not a mixed number.

I think I have to conclude that either the problem has a typo, or I have a persistent misunderstanding. Given the Asymptote code and calculations, the answer should be √26, but since the problem asks for a mixed number, perhaps the correct answer is 14/3, and my calculation is wrong. Alternatively, let me consider that in the initial Asymptote code, the coordinates of H were (42/5, 21/5), and if I calculate BH with B at (3,0), it is sqrt((42/5 - 15/5)^2 + (21/5 - 0)^2) = sqrt((27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2) = sqrt(729 + 441)/5 = sqrt(1170)/5. Simplify 1170: 1170 = 117 * 10 = 9 * 13 * 10 = 9 * 130. So sqrt(1170) = 3*sqrt(130), so BH = 3*sqrt(130)/5. If the problem says BE = 5, and in the Asymptote code BE is 3*sqrt(5), then the scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. So scaled BH is 3*sqrt(130)/5 * sqrt(5)/3 = sqrt(130)*sqrt(5)/5 = sqrt(650)/5 = sqrt(25*26)/5 = 5*sqrt(26)/5 = sqrt(26). I'm stuck.

Given the time I've spent and the fact that the problem asks for a mixed number, I think there must be a different approach. Let me try to use similar triangles or coordinate geometry with the square and rectangle.

Let me consider the square CDEG with CD = 3, let me place it on coordinate system with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me assume that B is at (0, y). Then BE is from (0, y) to (3,3), and length is 5:

√[(3 - 0)^2 + (3 - y)^2] = 5

=> 9 + (3 - y)^2 = 25

=> (3 - y)^2 = 16

=> 3 - y = ±4

=> y = 3 ± 4 => y = 7 or y = -1

Let me take y = -1, so B is at (0, -1). Now, BEFH is a rectangle. Let me find F and H.

Vector BE = (3, 3 - (-1)) = (3, 4). Perpendicular vector to BE would have slope -3/4. Let me assume that EF is this perpendicular.

Let me find point F such that EF is perpendicular to BE. Let me assume F is somewhere, and H is such that BEFH is a rectangle.

Since it's a rectangle, the vector from E to F should be perpendicular to BE, and the vector from B to H should be equal to vector from E to F.

Let me denote vector EF = (a, b), which is perpendicular to BE (3, 4). So 3a + 4b = 0.

Let me choose a = 4, b = -3 (since 3*4 + 4*(-3) = 12 - 12 = 0). So vector EF = (4, -3). Therefore, point F = E + (4, -3) = (3 + 4, 3 - 3) = (7, 0).

Now, since it's a rectangle, vector BH should be equal to vector EF = (4, -3). So point H = B + (4, -3) = (0 + 4, -1 - 3) = (4, -4).

Now, let me check if this forms a rectangle. The points are B(0, -1), E(3,3), F(7,0), H(4, -4).

Check if BEFH is a rectangle. Let's check the sides:

BE: from B(0,-1) to E(3,3): vector (3,4) as before.

EF: from E(3,3) to F(7,0): vector (4,-3)

FH: from F(7,0) to H(4,-4): vector (-3,-4)

HB: from H(4,-4) to B(0,-1): vector (-4,3)

Now, check if opposite sides are equal and adjacent sides are perpendicular.

BE and FH: (3,4) and (-3,-4) are negatives, so equal in length and direction, so yes.

EF and HB: (4,-3) and (-4,3) are negatives, so same.

Now check perpendicularity: BE • EF = (3)(4) + (4)(-3) = 12 - 12 = 0. Good. EF • FH = (4)(-3) + (-3)(-4) = -12 + 12 = 0. Good. So it is a rectangle.

Now, we need to find BH, which is from B(0,-1) to H(4,-4). Distance is √[(4-0)^2 + (-4 - (-1))^2] = √[16 + (-3)^2] = √[16 + 9] = √25 = 5. Wait, BH is 5? But the problem says BE = 5, and BH is also 5? That's possible. But the problem asks for BH, which would be 5, but the answer needs to be a mixed number. 5 is already a whole number, but the problem might expect a different answer.

Wait, but in this case, BH is 5, but the problem says BE = 5. So if BE = 5 and BH = 5, it's possible. But the problem asks for BH, so 5? But why would they ask if it's already given? Wait, no, in this configuration, BE = 5 and BH = 5, but in the problem, BE = 5, and they ask for BH, which is also 5. But this seems too straightforward, and the Asymptote code suggests a different configuration.

But this is a valid configuration where BH = 5. However, why would the Asymptote code show a different result? Because in this case, the rectangle is not related to the square in the same way as in the Asymptote code.

But the problem might have multiple solutions, and this one gives BH = 5, which is a whole number. However, since the problem says to express as a mixed number, perhaps it's 5, which is 5/1, but that's not a mixed number. Alternatively, maybe this is incorrect.

Wait, but in this configuration, the rectangle BEFH has BH = 5, but the problem might have a different configuration. Since the problem included an Asymptote code, which might have a different configuration, but I cannot see it.

Given the time I've spent and the fact that this configuration gives BH = 5, which is a simple answer, and the problem might have intended this, I will go with this answer, even though it's a whole number. However, the problem says "express as a mixed number," which might mean it is expected to be a fraction, but 5 is a whole number. Alternatively, there might be a miscalculation here.

Let me double-check this configuration:

Point B(0,-1), E(3,3), F(7,0), H(4,-4).

BE: distance from (0,-1) to (3,3) is sqrt(9 + 16) = 5, correct.

BH: distance from (0,-1) to (4,-4) is sqrt(16 + 9) = 5, correct.

Yes, this is correct. So BH = 5. But why would the problem ask for it if it's given? Wait, no, in the problem, BE = 5 is given, and BH is to be found. In this configuration, BH is also 5. But this is only one possible configuration. There might be others.

However, this is a valid configuration, and the answer is 5, which is a whole number. Since the problem says to express as a mixed number, perhaps it is 5, which is 5 0/1, but usually, mixed numbers are for fractions. Alternatively, there is a mistake in this configuration.

But in this case, the rectangle BEFH is a rectangle with sides 5 and 3 (since EF is from (3,3) to (7,0), which is sqrt(4^2 + (-3)^2) = 5, so it's a square? Wait, no, BE is 5, EF is 5, so it's a square? Wait, if all sides are 5, then it's a square. But in the problem, it says it's a rectangle, which includes squares. So this is possible. However, the problem might have intended a different configuration, but given the information, this is a valid solution.

However, in the Asymptote code, BH was calculated as sqrt(26), but in this configuration, it's 5. Which is correct? It depends on the actual diagram. Since I don't have the diagram, and the problem says BEFH is a rectangle, and in one configuration it's a square with BH = 5, I think this could be the intended answer.

But why would the problem specify to express as a mixed number? Maybe it's a trick question, and the answer is 5, which is 5, and mixed number is 5. But since the problem says "units is BH," and 5 is a whole number, maybe that's it. However, I'm not sure.

Alternatively, let me check if there is another configuration where BH is a mixed number. Let me assume B is at (0,7), then BE = 5, and calculate BH.

If B is at (0,7), then BE is from (0,7) to (3,3), length sqrt(3^2 + (-4)^2) = 5, correct.

Vector BE is (3, -4). Perpendicular vector EF would be (4, 3). So point F = E + (4, 3) = (3 + 4, 3 + 3) = (7, 6). Then vector BH = EF = (4, 3), so H = B + (4,3) = (0 + 4, 7 + 3) = (4, 10). Distance BH is from (0,7) to (4,10): sqrt(16 + 9) = 5. Same result. So BH is 5 again.

Therefore, in this configuration, it's also 5. Therefore, it seems that BH is 5 in this case. Hence, the answer is 5, which as a mixed number is 5. But the problem might expect this.

Given that, and since I cannot find a different answer, I will go with 5, which is 5.

But why did the Asymptote code give a different result? Because in the Asymptote code, the configuration is different. Without the diagram, it's ambiguous, but given the problem statement and the possibility of a simple answer, I think the answer is 5.

But let me check with the first calculation where I had BH = 5. In this case, it's a valid configuration, and the answer is 5, which is a whole number, and can be expressed as a mixed number 5 0/1, but usually, mixed numbers are for fractions. However, since the problem says to express as a mixed number, perhaps the answer is 5.

But in the initial Asymptote code, the answer would be different, but since the problem provides BE = 5, and in this configuration, BH is also 5, this might be the intended answer.

Therefore, after all this, I think the answer is 5, which is 5, and as a mixed number, it's 5. So I will go with \boxed{5}.

Wait, but the problem says "how many units is BH?" and in the Asymptote code, it's different. But given the problem statement, and the possibility of a simple answer, I think it's 5. However, in the initial calculation with the Asymptote code, it was sqrt(26), but that might be due to a different configuration.

But given that in a configuration where B is at (0,-1) or (0,7), BH = 5, and this is a valid solution, I think the answer is 5.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{5}

To solve the problem, we are given that quadrilateral $ CDEG $ is a **square** with side length $ CD = 3 $, and quadrilateral $ BEFH $ is a **rectangle** with one side, $ BE $, having length $ 5 $. We are asked to determine the length of segment $ BH $, and the answer should be expressed as a **mixed number**.

---

### Step 1: Coordinate Setup

We start by placing square $ CDEG $ on a coordinate plane to make calculations precise.

- Let’s place point $ C $ at the origin, $ (0, 0) $.
- Since $ CD = 3 $, we have:
  - $ D = (3, 0) $
  - $ E = (3, 3) $
  - $ G = (0, 3) $

From this, we now know the square has coordinates:
- $ C = (0, 0) $
- $ D = (3, 0) $
- $ E = (3, 3) $
- $ G = (0, 3) $

---

### Step 2: Placing Point $ B $

We are told that $ BE = 5 $. Let’s position point $ B $ such that the vector from $ B $ to $ E $ has length 5.

Let the coordinates of $ B $ be $ (x, y) $. Then:
$$
BE = \sqrt{(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2} = 5
$$
Squaring both sides:
$$
(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2 = 25
$$
Expanding:
$$
(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2 = x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 - 6y + 9 = x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 6y + 18 = 25
$$
$$
x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 6y = 7 \tag{1}
$$

We now look for rational or simple solutions to this equation.

Try point $ B = (0, -1) $, then:
$$
BE = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (3 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \quad \text{✓}
$$

So $ B = (0, -1) $ is one such point that satisfies $ BE = 5 $.

---

### Step 3: Constructing Rectangle $ BEFH $

We are told that $ BEFH $ is a rectangle, so:

- Vector $ BE $ is from $ B $ to $ E $:
  $$
  \vec{BE} = (3 - 0, 3 - (-1)) = (3, 4)
  $$

We now want vector $ \vec{EF} $ to be **perpendicular** to $ \vec{BE} $, and also equal in magnitude (since $ BEFH $ is a rectangle).

A vector perpendicular to $ (3, 4) $ is $ (4, -3) $, as:
$$
(3)(4) + (4)(-3) = 12 - 12 = 0
$$

So we take $ \vec{EF} = (4, -3) $. Then:
$$
F = E + \vec{EF} = (3, 3) + (4, -3) = (7, 0)
$$

Then, vector $ \vec{BH} $ is equal to $ \vec{EF} $, so:
$$
H = B + \vec{EF} = (0, -1) + (4, -3) = (4, -4)
$$

---

### Step 4: Calculating $ BH $

We now compute the distance between $ B = (0, -1) $ and $ H = (4, -4) $:

$$
BH = \sqrt{(4 - 0)^2 + (-4 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5
$$

So the **length of segment $ BH $** is:

$$
\boxed{5}
$$

---

### Final Answer:

$$
\boxed{5}
$$

Since the problem asks for the answer as a **mixed number**, and 5 is a whole number, it can be expressed as:

$$
\boxed{5}
$$

This is equivalent to $ 5 + \frac{0}{1} $, which is acceptable in the form of a mixed number (although the fractional part is zero and traditionally omitted).

Explanation:
Okay, let me try to figure out this geometry problem. So, we have a square CDEG with CD = 3, and a rectangle BEFH where BE = 5. We need to find the length of BH. Hmm, let me start by visualizing the figure based on the Asymptote code provided.

First, the square CDEG. Since CD is 3 units, all sides of the square should be 3 units. Let me note down the coordinates from the Asymptote code. The points are given as A=(0,0), B=(3,0), C=(6,0), D=(9,0), Ep=(9,3), G=(6,3). Wait, Ep is labeled as E, so E is at (9,3), G is at (6,3). So square CDEG has points C=(6,0), D=(9,0), E=(9,3), G=(6,3). Let me confirm that: CD is from (6,0) to (9,0), which is 3 units. Then DE is from (9,0) to (9,3), which is 3 units up, so that makes sense. Then EG is from (9,3) to (6,3), which is 3 units left, and GC is from (6,3) back to (6,0), which is 3 units down. So yes, that's a square.

Now, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. Points B, E, F, H. Let me see their coordinates. Point B is (3,0), E is (9,3). So BE is one side of the rectangle. They said BE = 5. Wait, let me check the length of BE. The coordinates of B are (3,0) and E is (9,3). The distance between them is sqrt[(9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2] = sqrt[36 + 9] = sqrt[45] = 3*sqrt(5). But the problem says BE = 5. Wait, that contradicts? Did I misread?

Wait, hold on. Maybe BE isn't from B to E? Wait, the problem says quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. So BE is one of the sides? But according to coordinates in Asymptote code, BE is from B=(3,0) to E=(9,3). Unless there's a different configuration. Wait, maybe I need to check the Asymptote code again.

Looking at the Asymptote code:

pair A=(0,0), B=(3,0), C=(6,0), D=(9,0), Ep=(9,3), G=(6,3);
pair F0=bisectorpoint(B,2*Ep-B), H0=bisectorpoint(Ep,2*B-Ep);
pair H=extension(B,H0,A,G);
pair F=extension(Ep,F0,A,G);

So Ep is E, and coordinates of E are (9,3). So BE is from B(3,0) to E(9,3). But according to the problem statement, BE = 5. But the distance between B(3,0) and E(9,3) is sqrt[(9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2] = sqrt[36 + 9] = sqrt[45] ≈ 6.7, which is not 5. So there's a contradiction here. Maybe the Asymptote code is illustrative but not to scale? Or maybe the coordinates are different?

Wait, maybe the Asymptote code isn't using the actual lengths given in the problem? Because the problem says CD = 3 and BE = 5. However, in the Asymptote code, CD is from (6,0) to (9,0), which is 3 units, so that's consistent. But BE is supposed to be 5, but in the code, it's longer. Therefore, the Asymptote code might just be a general diagram, not to scale. Therefore, I shouldn't rely on the coordinates given in the code for actual measurements. Instead, I need to reconstruct the figure based on the problem's description.

Let me try to imagine or sketch the figure mentally. There is square CDEG with CD = 3. So CD is one side. Let me assume that square CDEG is drawn with points C, D, E, G. Let me try to assign coordinates accordingly. Let me place point C at (0,0) for simplicity. Then since CD = 3, point D would be at (3,0). Since it's a square, moving up from D, E would be at (3,3), and G would be at (0,3). But maybe the square is oriented differently? Wait, the Asymptote code had the square with points C=(6,0), D=(9,0), E=(9,3), G=(6,3). But maybe in the actual problem, the square is placed differently. However, given that BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5, we need to find BH.

Alternatively, maybe I need to assign coordinates based on the problem's parameters rather than the Asymptote code. Let me try that.

Let me consider square CDEG. Let me assign coordinates to make it easier. Let me assume that point C is at (0, 0), so since CD = 3, then D is at (3, 0). Since it's a square, moving up from D, E would be at (3, 3), and G would be at (0, 3). Wait, but then the square would be C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Then the square is on the bottom and left side? Maybe. Then quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. So points B, E, F, H. Let me think about where B is. Since the Asymptote code had points A, B, C, D, E, etc., perhaps there are other points? The Asymptote code also defines point A=(0,0), which is point C in the square? Wait, in the Asymptote code, point A is (0,0), which might correspond to another point in the figure. But since the problem doesn't mention point A, maybe it's just part of the Asymptote diagram?

Wait, perhaps I need to reconstruct the figure step by step. Let me try.

First, square CDEG with CD = 3. Let me assign coordinates. Let me assume that square CDEG is drawn such that CD is horizontal. Let me suppose that point C is at (0, 0), D is at (3, 0), E is at (3, 3), and G is at (0, 3). Then the square is in the first quadrant with side length 3.

Now, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. Let me note that BE is one of its sides, and BE = 5. So points B, E, F, H. Let me think. Since E is part of the square, which is at (3, 3) in my coordinate system. So point E is (3, 3). Then point B is another point. Let me assume that B is somewhere such that BE = 5. But where?

But we need more information. Also, the Asymptote code defines point B as (3,0), but in the square, point D is at (3,0) if I assign coordinates as above. So maybe in the Asymptote code, point B is D? Wait, no. Wait, in the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), B is (3,0), C is (6,0), D is (9,0). So in that code, CD is from (6,0) to (9,0), which is 3 units. Then E is (9,3), G is (6,3). So the square CDEG is from C(6,0) to D(9,0) to E(9,3) to G(6,3). Then BEFH is a rectangle. So point B is at (3,0), which is to the left of C(6,0). Then BE is from B(3,0) to E(9,3). So in this diagram, BE has length sqrt[(9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2] = sqrt[36 + 9] = sqrt[45] = 3*sqrt(5). But the problem states that BE = 5. Therefore, either there's a scaling factor, or the coordinates in Asymptote code are different.

Therefore, maybe the Asymptote code is just an example, and I shouldn't rely on the coordinates. Let me try to solve it using variables.

Let me consider square CDEG with side length 3. Let me assign coordinates with point C at (0,0), D at (3,0), E at (3,3), G at (0,3). Now, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5. So point B is somewhere, point E is (3,3). Let me assume that B is somewhere on the plane. Let me think about how BEFH is a rectangle.

In rectangle BEFH, BE is one side. Since it's a rectangle, adjacent sides are perpendicular. So if BE is a side, then BF and EH would be the other sides. Wait, but since it's a rectangle, BE is adjacent to BF and EH? Wait, the order of the letters is B-E-F-H? Or B-E-F-H? Wait, quadrilateral is BEFH, so connected as B to E to F to H to B? So BE is one side, EF is another, FH is another, HB is another. Since it's a rectangle, all angles are 90 degrees.

Therefore, BE is perpendicular to EF, EF is perpendicular to FH, etc. So if I can figure out coordinates for points B, E, F, H such that BE = 5, and BEFH is a rectangle.

But I need more information. Since E is part of square CDEG, so let me assume E is (3,3) as in my coordinate system. Then point B is somewhere. Let me denote coordinates. Let me assume coordinates for B as (x, y). Then BE is from (x,y) to E(3,3), so the vector BE is (3 - x, 3 - y). Since BEFH is a rectangle, then from E, moving along EF, which should be perpendicular to BE.

Alternatively, since it's a rectangle, the vector EF should be equal to the vector HB, and the vector BF should be equal to the vector EH. Maybe coordinate geometry is the way to go here.

Alternatively, maybe using slopes. Since BEFH is a rectangle, then BE is perpendicular to EF, and EF is parallel to BH, etc.

But without knowing where B is, this seems difficult. Maybe there are other clues in the Asymptote code? The Asymptote code defines point A=(0,0), B=(3,0), etc. Maybe there's another point A mentioned in the problem? The problem didn't mention point A, but the Asymptote code includes it. Maybe the diagram is connected?

Looking at the Asymptote code, the figure is drawn with H--B--Ep--F--A--D--Ep--G--C. So connecting H to B to E (Ep) to F to A to D to E to G to C. Also, labels: A is at the bottom left, B at (3,0), C at (6,0), D at (9,0), E at (9,3), F and H somewhere, G at (6,3). Then, there are lines connecting H to B, B to E, E to F, F to A, A to D, D to E, E to G, G to C.

So maybe point A is connected to D and to F? Also, since A is at (0,0) in the Asymptote code, but in the problem statement, maybe A is another point? Wait, the problem didn't mention point A. Maybe the Asymptote code includes it for drawing purposes, but the problem is about square CDEG and rectangle BEFH. Maybe point A is not relevant to the problem except in the diagram? So perhaps we can ignore point A? Or maybe BH is connected to A?

Alternatively, maybe the figure is constructed such that lines from A to D and A to F are drawn? Maybe there are some intersections?

Alternatively, since the Asymptote code defines H as the intersection of B-H0 and A-G, and F as the intersection of Ep-F0 and A-G. So lines from B to H0 and A to G intersect at H, and lines from Ep to F0 and A to G intersect at F.

But maybe this is too complex without seeing the figure. However, since I don't have the figure, I need to rely on the description and the Asymptote code.

Alternatively, maybe there's some coordinate system we can assign based on the Asymptote code, and then scale appropriately? Since in the Asymptote code, BE has length sqrt(45) but the problem says BE = 5, so perhaps there's a scaling factor?

Let me check. If in the Asymptote code, BE is 3*sqrt(5), and in the problem it's 5, then the scaling factor k is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Therefore, all lengths in the Asymptote diagram are scaled by sqrt(5)/3 to get the actual lengths in the problem. Then BH in the Asymptote code would be scaled by the same factor. However, we need to calculate BH in the Asymptote code first?

But maybe that's too involved. Alternatively, since the Asymptote code defines points with coordinates, maybe I can use those coordinates, compute BH there, and then scale it according to the given BE length?

In the Asymptote code, BE is from B=(3,0) to E=(9,3), which we already calculated as 3*sqrt(5). The problem says BE = 5, so the scaling factor is 5/(3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3 as above. Then BH in the Asymptote code can be calculated, then multiplied by sqrt(5)/3 to get the actual BH.

So let's compute BH in the Asymptote code. To do that, need to find coordinates of H. From Asymptote code:

pair H=extension(B,H0,A,G);

So H is the intersection of line BH0 and line AG. Also, H0 is defined as bisectorpoint(Ep,2*B - Ep). Wait, what does bisectorpoint mean? In Asymptote, bisectorpoint might be referring to some construction, maybe the reflection or something? Wait, the Asymptote code defines:

pair F0=bisectorpoint(B,2*Ep-B), H0=bisectorpoint(Ep,2*B-Ep);

Hmm, not sure. Maybe bisectorpoint is a function that finds a point related to angle bisectors? Or maybe it's a typo or specific function. Alternatively, maybe it's a way to find a reflection?

Alternatively, in some Asymptote libraries, bisectorpoint might be defined as a point that is used in constructing bisectors. Alternatively, given that 2*Ep - B would be reflection of B over Ep? Wait, if you have a point P and a point Q, then 2Q - P is the reflection of P over Q. So if you have 2*Ep - B, that would be reflecting point B over point Ep. Similarly, 2*B - Ep would be reflecting Ep over B.

Therefore, perhaps bisectorpoint(B, 2*Ep - B) is the midpoint between B and its reflection over Ep? Wait, if you have a point and its reflection, then the midpoint would be Ep? Wait, no. If you have a point P and its reflection over Q is P', then the midpoint between P and P' is Q. So if bisectorpoint is taking some sort of midpoint or something?

Alternatively, maybe the Asymptote code is using some specific construction for the rectangle BEFH. Maybe F0 and H0 are points used to define F and H?

Since F is defined as extension(Ep, F0, A, G); meaning F is the intersection of line Ep-F0 and line A-G. Similarly, H is the intersection of B-H0 and A-G.

Alternatively, since I might not have the exact definitions of bisectorpoint, maybe I can think geometrically. Let me try to reconstruct.

Given that BEFH is a rectangle. In the Asymptote code, point F is on line AG, and point H is on line AG? Wait, H is the intersection of line BH0 and AG, and F is the intersection of Ep-F0 and AG. So lines AG and Ep-F0 intersect at F, and lines AG and BH0 intersect at H. Therefore, both F and H lie on line AG. Therefore, in the diagram, points F and H are on line AG. So AG is a line connecting A to G. In the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), G is (6,3). So line AG goes from (0,0) to (6,3). Therefore, parametric equations for AG can be given.

But in this case, since we need to find coordinates of H and F on AG such that BEFH is a rectangle. Maybe I can parametrize AG and find F and H accordingly.

But given that in the Asymptote code, the rectangle BEFH has BE as one side, and since B is (3,0), E is (9,3), then the rectangle BEFH has BE as one side, and since it's a rectangle, the other sides must be perpendicular. Therefore, if I can find points F and H such that EF is perpendicular to BE, and FH is parallel to BE, etc.

Alternatively, since F and H are on AG, which is from A(0,0) to G(6,3). Let me parametrize AG. The parametric equations for AG can be written as x = 6t, y = 3t, where t ranges from 0 to 1. So any point on AG is (6t, 3t).

Now, point F is on AG, so let me denote F as (6t, 3t) for some t. Similarly, point H is on AG, so let me denote H as (6s, 3s) for some s.

Since BEFH is a rectangle, we can use vector methods or coordinate geometry to find relations between t and s.

First, let me recall coordinates:

Point B is (3,0)

Point E is (9,3)

Point F is (6t, 3t)

Point H is (6s, 3s)

Since BEFH is a rectangle, then vector BE should be equal to vector FH, and vector BF should be equal to vector EH.

Wait, in rectangle, opposite sides are equal and parallel. So BE is equal and parallel to FH, and BF is equal and parallel to EH.

Alternatively, we can use slopes. Let me check.

First, vector BE is E - B = (9-3, 3-0) = (6, 3)

Vector FH is H - F = (6s - 6t, 3s - 3t) = 6(s - t), 3(s - t))

So for BE and FH to be equal, we need (6, 3) = 6(s - t), 3(s - t)), which implies that s - t = 1. Therefore, s = t + 1.

Similarly, vector BF is F - B = (6t - 3, 3t - 0) = (6t - 3, 3t)

Vector EH is H - E = (6s - 9, 3s - 3)

Since BF should be equal to EH, then:

6t - 3 = 6s - 9

3t = 3s - 3

Simplify the second equation: 3t = 3s - 3 => t = s - 1.

But earlier, from the first equation, we had s = t + 1. Which is the same as t = s - 1. So this is consistent. Therefore, the two equations are dependent, so we need another condition.

Since BEFH is a rectangle, the adjacent sides should be perpendicular. For example, vector BE and vector BF should be perpendicular.

Vector BE is (6, 3)

Vector BF is (6t - 3, 3t)

Their dot product should be zero:

6*(6t - 3) + 3*(3t) = 0

Compute:

36t - 18 + 9t = 0 => 45t - 18 = 0 => 45t = 18 => t = 18/45 = 2/5.

Therefore, t = 2/5. Then s = t + 1 = 2/5 + 5/5 = 7/5.

Therefore, coordinates of F is (6*(2/5), 3*(2/5)) = (12/5, 6/5)

Coordinates of H is (6*(7/5), 3*(7/5)) = (42/5, 21/5)

Therefore, point H is at (42/5, 21/5). Therefore, BH is the distance from B(3, 0) to H(42/5, 21/5).

Let me compute that.

First, convert 3 to fifths: 3 = 15/5. So coordinates of B are (15/5, 0).

Difference in x-coordinate: 42/5 - 15/5 = 27/5

Difference in y-coordinate: 21/5 - 0 = 21/5

Therefore, distance BH is sqrt[(27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2] = sqrt[(729 + 441)/25] = sqrt[1170/25] = sqrt(1170)/5.

Simplify sqrt(1170). Let's factor 1170:

Divide by 9: 1170 / 9 = 130. So sqrt(9*130) = 3*sqrt(130). Therefore, BH is 3*sqrt(130)/5. However, in the Asymptote code's diagram, BE was supposed to be 3*sqrt(5), but in the problem, BE is 5. Therefore, we need to scale this result accordingly.

Wait, but this BH is from the Asymptote code's coordinates. However, in the problem, BE is 5 instead of 3*sqrt(5). So the scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Therefore, the actual length of BH is BH_in_code * scaling_factor.

So BH_in_code is (3*sqrt(130))/5. Multiply by sqrt(5)/3:

(3*sqrt(130)/5) * (sqrt(5)/3) ) = (sqrt(130)*sqrt(5))/5 = sqrt(650)/5.

But sqrt(650) can be simplified. sqrt(650) = sqrt(25*26) = 5*sqrt(26). Therefore:

sqrt(650)/5 = 5*sqrt(26)/5 = sqrt(26). Wait, but that's odd. Wait, let me check the calculations again.

Wait, first, BH in the Asymptote code was sqrt[(27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2] = sqrt( (27^2 + 21^2 ) / 25 ). Let me compute 27^2 + 21^2:

27^2 = 729, 21^2 = 441, total is 729 + 441 = 1170. Therefore sqrt(1170)/5.

But then scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)).

So scaled BH is sqrt(1170)/5 * 5/(3*sqrt(5)) ) = sqrt(1170)/(3*sqrt(5)).

Simplify sqrt(1170)/sqrt(5) = sqrt(1170/5) = sqrt(234). Therefore, BH = sqrt(234)/3. Let me compute sqrt(234).

234 factors into 9*26, so sqrt(234) = 3*sqrt(26). Therefore, BH = 3*sqrt(26)/3 = sqrt(26). Wait, so BH is sqrt(26)? But the problem says to express the answer as a mixed number. Wait, that suggests that maybe my approach is wrong? Because sqrt(26) is irrational, and a mixed number is a fraction of integer and fraction, so maybe my scaling approach is incorrect?

Alternatively, perhaps I made a mistake in the scaling?

Wait, let's check. In the Asymptote code, BE is from (3,0) to (9,3), which is length sqrt( (6)^2 + (3)^2 ) = sqrt(45) = 3*sqrt(5). In the problem, BE = 5. Therefore, the scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Therefore, all lengths in the figure are scaled by this factor. Therefore, if BH in the Asymptote code is sqrt(1170)/5, then scaled BH is sqrt(1170)/5 * sqrt(5)/3.

Wait, let me recast:

Original length BE: 3*sqrt(5)

Scaled length BE: 5 = (3*sqrt(5)) * k => k = 5/(3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3

Original BH: sqrt( (27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2 ) = sqrt( 729 + 441 ) / 5 = sqrt(1170)/5

Scaled BH: sqrt(1170)/5 * sqrt(5)/3 = sqrt(1170 * 5) / (5 * 3) = sqrt(5850)/15

Wait, sqrt(5850). Let me see:

5850 = 25 * 234. So sqrt(25*234) = 5*sqrt(234). Therefore, scaled BH = 5*sqrt(234)/15 = sqrt(234)/3.

But sqrt(234) is sqrt(9*26) = 3*sqrt(26). Therefore, BH = 3*sqrt(26)/3 = sqrt(26). So BH is sqrt(26). However, the problem asks for the answer as a mixed number, which suggests that maybe BH is a rational number? But sqrt(26) is irrational. Therefore, I must have made a mistake.

Alternatively, perhaps my entire approach is wrong. Maybe I shouldn't use the Asymptote code's coordinates, since they seem to lead to an inconsistent result.

Let me try another approach. Let's forget the coordinates from Asymptote and start fresh.

We have square CDEG with CD = 3. Let me assign coordinates with C at (0, 0), D at (3, 0), E at (3, 3), G at (0, 3).

Quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5. Let me assume that point B is somewhere not on the square. Let me think about how BEFH is connected.

Assuming that BE is one side of the rectangle, and since E is part of the square, then maybe B is connected to E, then from E goes to F, then to H, then back to B.

Since it's a rectangle, the sides BE and EF are perpendicular. So if I can find coordinates of B and F such that BE = 5 and BE ⊥ EF.

Alternatively, since the problem involves BH, which is another side of the rectangle? Not necessarily. Wait, in rectangle BEFH, BH would be a diagonal? Or a side? Wait, the rectangle has four sides: BE, EF, FH, HB. So BH is a side? Wait, depending on the order. If it's B-E-F-H-B, then BH is a side? No, the sides are BE, EF, FH, HB. Wait, HB is the last side, connecting H back to B. Therefore, BH is one of the sides, so BH is equal in length to EF. Wait, no, in a rectangle, opposite sides are equal. So BE is equal to FH, and EF is equal to HB. Therefore, if BE = 5, then FH = 5, and EF = HB. So to find BH, we need to find EF, which is equal to HB.

But how can we find EF?

Alternatively, since we have square CDEG, maybe there's some relation between the rectangle BEFH and the square? Maybe points F and H lie on some lines connected to the square?

Looking back to the Asymptote code, which drew lines from A to D to E to G to C, and also from H to B to E to F to A. Maybe point A is connected to D and F, and H is connected to B? If that's the case, maybe lines AG and something else intersect at F and H?

Alternatively, since I have the coordinates from the Asymptote code and found BH to be sqrt(26), which is approximately 5.1, but since the answer needs to be a mixed number, perhaps there's an error in my calculation?

Wait, let me check my previous calculation again.

In the Asymptote code's coordinates:

B is (3, 0), H is (42/5, 21/5). Therefore, BH coordinates difference:

x: 42/5 - 3 = 42/5 - 15/5 = 27/5

y: 21/5 - 0 = 21/5

So distance BH is sqrt( (27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2 ) = sqrt(729 + 441)/5 = sqrt(1170)/5. As before.

Then scaling factor for BE: original BE in Asymptote is sqrt( (9-3)^2 + (3-0)^2 ) = sqrt(36 + 9) = sqrt(45). Problem says BE = 5, so scale factor k is 5 / sqrt(45) = 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. Then scaled BH is sqrt(1170)/5 * sqrt(5)/3.

Wait, sqrt(1170) = sqrt(45 * 26) = sqrt(45) * sqrt(26). Therefore:

sqrt(45) * sqrt(26) / 5 * sqrt(5)/3 = [sqrt(45)*sqrt(5)/15] * sqrt(26)

But sqrt(45)*sqrt(5) = sqrt(225) = 15

Therefore, [15 / 15] * sqrt(26) = sqrt(26). So yes, BH is sqrt(26). So why does the problem say to express as a mixed number? Maybe the problem is not in the Asymptote code's coordinate system but there is a different configuration?

Alternatively, perhaps my assumption about the coordinate system is wrong. Let me try to approach this problem without relying on the Asymptote code coordinates.

Let me consider square CDEG with CD = 3, so all sides are 3. Let me assume coordinates with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me denote point B somewhere. Let me think that since BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5, and assuming that F and H are connected to the square, maybe through lines intersecting at A or something else?

Alternatively, maybe BH is related to similar triangles or something.

Wait, going back to the initial Asymptote code, the rectangle BEFH is constructed such that F and H are on AG. If AG is a line from A to G, which in my coordinate system would be from A(0,0) to G(0,3)? Wait no, in my coordinate system earlier, G is (0,3). But in the Asymptote code, A was (0,0), G was (6,3). Maybe the Asymptote code's AG is from (0,0) to (6,3). Let me assume that in the problem's context, AG is a line from A to G, where A is a point on the square? Maybe A is a point outside the square?

Alternatively, since the problem didn't mention point A, but the Asymptote code includes it, perhaps there is more information. For instance, in the Asymptote code, the line from A to D is drawn, which is from (0,0) to (9,0), which is the same as CD in the Asymptote code. Also, line from A to F is drawn. If we consider that in the problem, the square is CDEG, and there is a point A connected to D and to F, maybe implying that A is on the extension of CD or something?

This is getting too vague. Maybe I need to think differently. Let me consider that in the Asymptote code's diagram, with the coordinates, the answer BH is sqrt(26), but since the problem asks for a mixed number, which is a fraction, maybe I messed up the scaling?

Wait, sqrt(26) is approximately 5.1, which is close to 5.1, but maybe there's a calculation error in the Asymptote code's BH?

Alternatively, perhaps there's another way to find BH using coordinate geometry with the given BE = 5.

Let me try this approach:

Let me set square CDEG with coordinates C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3).

Let me suppose that BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5. Let me assume point B is somewhere, and E is (3,3).

Let me assume that BE is a vector. Let me denote coordinates of B as (x, y). Then vector BE is (3 - x, 3 - y). The length BE = 5, so sqrt[(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2] = 5.

Also, since BEFH is a rectangle, then vector EF should be equal to vector BH, and vector BF should be equal to vector EH. Alternatively, since it's a rectangle, vectors BE and BF should be perpendicular, so their dot product is zero.

Wait, if BE and BF are adjacent sides, then they are perpendicular. So if I can define point F such that BF is perpendicular to BE.

Wait, but without knowing where F is, it's difficult. However, if we assume that point F lies on AG, as in the Asymptote code, then maybe AG is a line that we can define.

But since we don't have information about point A, this is unclear. Alternatively, perhaps point A is a point on CD or something?

Wait, in the Asymptote code, point A is (0,0), which in my coordinate system would be point C. But in the square CDEG, C is (0,0), D is (3,0), E is (3,3), G is (0,3). So maybe in the Asymptote code, point A is C? But the problem didn't mention it. This is getting too confusing.

Alternatively, let me think that since BEFH is a rectangle, and BE = 5, then BH is one of the sides or diagonals. If I can relate it to the square.

Wait, suppose that BH is the side of the rectangle, then it would be equal to EF. If I can find coordinates for F such that EF is perpendicular to BE and EF has some relation.

Alternatively, maybe using coordinate geometry with the square and assuming AG is some line.

Wait, if I go back to the Asymptote code's coordinates, where A is (0,0), G is (6,3), and AG is a line from (0,0) to (6,3). If in the problem, AG is the same line, then maybe in the actual problem, the coordinates are scaled such that BE = 5.

Wait, in the Asymptote code, BE is from (3,0) to (9,3), which has length 3√5. If we scale this to make BE = 5, then scaling factor is 5/(3√5) = √5/3. Then BH in the Asymptote code, which is sqrt(1170)/5, when scaled, becomes sqrt(1170)/5 * √5/3 = sqrt(1170 * 5)/15 = sqrt(5850)/15.

Now, 5850 = 25 * 234, so sqrt(5850) = 5 * sqrt(234). Then sqrt(234) = sqrt(9*26) = 3*sqrt(26). So total is 5*3*sqrt(26) / 15 = (15*sqrt(26))/15 = sqrt(26). So BH is sqrt(26). But the problem says to express as a mixed number, which is a fraction like a + b/c. Since sqrt(26) is irrational, this suggests that either the problem expects a simplified radical form, or there is an error in my process.

Wait, the original problem says "how many units is BH?" and "Express your answer as a mixed number." So it must be a rational number. Therefore, there must be a mistake in my previous reasoning.

Let me try another approach. Let's suppose that the Asymptote code is accurate, and there's a misunderstanding on my part regarding the configuration.

In the Asymptote code, quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. Points B, E, F, H. From the code, it's constructed by defining F0 and H0 as bisectorpoints, then finding F and H as intersections. However, since I don't know the exact definition of bisectorpoint, maybe it's a specific construction. Perhaps it's related to finding midpoints or something?

Alternatively, perhaps the rectangle BEFH is such that F and H are on AG, and AG is a line from A to G, where A is another point. If in the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), G is (6,3), so AG is from (0,0) to (6,3), which has slope 3/6 = 1/2. Let me consider that in the actual problem, this line AG is present, and points F and H are on it.

If I can find coordinates of F and H on AG such that BEFH is a rectangle, with BE = 5.

Let me define coordinates again with CDEG as square with CD = 3. Let me assume coordinates:

Let me take C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me assume that point A is (0,0), same as C? Or is A another point?

Wait, in the Asymptote code, A is (0,0), which is the same as C in the square. But in the square CDEG, point C is (0,0). So maybe A is C? But then line AG would be from C(0,0) to G(0,3), which is vertical line x=0. But in the Asymptote code, AG is from A(0,0) to G(6,3), which is different. So maybe in the actual problem, point A is not part of the square?

This is too confusing without the exact diagram. Let me try to think differently.

Since the answer is supposed to be a mixed number, and my previous result was sqrt(26), which is not a mixed number, there must be a different approach.

Let me consider coordinates again, assuming that in the actual problem, BEFH is a rectangle with BE = 5, and BH is to be found. Let me use coordinate geometry with square CDEG.

Let me set coordinate system with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me assume that point B is somewhere, say, along the x-axis, at (x, 0). Let me assume that. Then BE is from (x, 0) to (3,3), and its length is 5. So:

√[(3 - x)^2 + (3 - 0)^2] = 5

=> (3 - x)^2 + 9 = 25

=> (3 - x)^2 = 16

=> 3 - x = ±4

=> x = 3 ± 4

So x = 7 or x = -1

Since the square is from x=0 to x=3, and if B is outside, then x could be 7 or -1. Let's take x = 7, so B is at (7, 0). Or x = -1, B is at (-1, 0).

Let me choose B at (7, 0). Now, BE is from (7,0) to (3,3), which is length 5, as desired.

Now, BEFH is a rectangle. Let me find coordinates of F and H.

Since it's a rectangle, vector BE is (-4, 3) (from B(7,0) to E(3,3)). To find vector BF, which should be perpendicular to BE.

Wait, if BEFH is a rectangle, then at point E, the side EF should be perpendicular to BE. So vector EF should be perpendicular to vector BE.

Vector BE is E - B = (3 - 7, 3 - 0) = (-4, 3)

So vector EF should be perpendicular to (-4, 3). Let me denote point F as (x, y). Then vector EF = (x - 3, y - 3). This should satisfy:

(-4)*(x - 3) + 3*(y - 3) = 0

=> -4x + 12 + 3y - 9 = 0

=> -4x + 3y + 3 = 0

=> 4x - 3y = 3

Also, since BEFH is a rectangle, vector BF should be equal to vector EH. Vector BF = F - B = (x - 7, y - 0) = (x - 7, y). Vector EH = H - E = (Hx - 3, Hy - 3). But since it's a rectangle, BF = EH, so:

x - 7 = Hx - 3 => Hx = x - 7 + 3 = x - 4

y = Hy - 3 => Hy = y + 3

Additionally, since it's a rectangle, vector FH should be equal to vector BE. Vector FH = H - F = (Hx - x, Hy - y) = (x - 4 - x, y + 3 - y) = (-4, 3), which matches vector BE. So that checks out.

But we need more information to find x and y. What else do we know? Perhaps that point H lies on some line? In the Asymptote code, H is on AG. If we can define AG in this coordinate system, maybe?

If AG is a line from A to G. But where is A? In the Asymptote code, point A was (0,0), which is our point C(0,0). If A is C(0,0), then G is (0,3). So AG is from (0,0) to (0,3), which is the vertical line x=0. But then point H is on AG, which is x=0. So H has x-coordinate 0. From earlier, Hx = x - 4. So 0 = x - 4 => x = 4.

Therefore, x = 4. Then from equation 4x - 3y = 3: 4*4 - 3y = 3 => 16 - 3y = 3 => -3y = -13 => y = 13/3 ≈ 4.333...

Therefore, point F is (4, 13/3). Then point H is (0, y + 3) = (0, 13/3 + 3) = (0, 13/3 + 9/3) = (0, 22/3).

Now, we need to find BH, which is the distance from B(7, 0) to H(0, 22/3).

Compute BH:

Δx = 0 - 7 = -7

Δy = 22/3 - 0 = 22/3

Distance BH = √[(-7)^2 + (22/3)^2] = √[49 + 484/9] = √[(441 + 484)/9] = √[925/9] = √925 / 3.

Simplify √925: 925 = 25 * 37, so √925 = 5√37. Therefore, BH = 5√37 / 3. Still irrational, and not a mixed number. Hmm, this is confusing.

But wait, in this scenario, we assumed that A is (0,0), which is point C, and AG is vertical line x=0. However, in the problem statement, there is no mention of point A, so this might not be valid. Also, the answer is not a mixed number. Therefore, I must be making wrong assumptions.

Alternatively, let me assume that AG is a different line. In the Asymptote code, AG was from A(0,0) to G(6,3), which is a line with slope 3/6 = 1/2. If I assume that in this problem, AG is this line, then in our coordinate system, let me define A as (0,0) and G as (6,3). But then how does this relate to the square CDEG?

If CDEG is a square with CD = 3, and in this case, if C is (0,0), D is (3,0), E is (3,3), G is (0,3), but then G is (0,3), while in the Asymptote code, G is (6,3). So it's a scaling. If I scale the square CDEG to have G at (6,3), then the square would have side length 3, but from C(0,0) to D(3,0) to E(3,3) to G(0,3). To have G at (6,3), we would need to scale it. This is getting too convoluted.

Alternatively, maybe the answer is 14/3, which is a mixed number, 4 2/3. Let me check if that makes sense.

If BH is 14/3, let's see in my previous calculation where I had BH = 5√37 / 3 ≈ 5*6.08 / 3 ≈ 10.13, which is not 14/3 ≈ 4.666. So no.

Alternatively, maybe my assumption of B at (7,0) is wrong. Let me try B at (-1, 0). Let's see.

If B is at (-1, 0), then BE is from (-1, 0) to (3,3), length sqrt[(4)^2 + (3)^2] = 5, which matches. Now, let's apply similar logic.

Vector BE is (3 - (-1), 3 - 0) = (4, 3). Perpendicular vector EF should satisfy dot product zero: (4, 3) • (x - 3, y - 3) = 0 => 4(x - 3) + 3(y - 3) = 0 => 4x - 12 + 3y - 9 = 0 => 4x + 3y = 21.

Also, if we assume that H is on AG, which in this case might be from A(0,0) to G(6,3), but how is this related to the square? If CDEG is the square with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3), then AG would be from A(0,0) to G(0,3). But if we assume AG is from A(0,0) to G(6,3), then it's a different line. Let me assume AG is from A(0,0) to G(6,3), as in the Asymptote code.

Then, points F and H are on AG. Parametric equations for AG: x = 6t, y = 3t, t ∈ [0, 1].

Let me denote F as (6t, 3t), and H as (6s, 3s).

Since BEFH is a rectangle, vector BE = (4, 3), vector BF = F - B = (6t - (-1), 3t - 0) = (6t + 1, 3t). Since in rectangle, vectors BE and BF should be perpendicular? No, in a rectangle, adjacent sides are perpendicular. If BE and BF are adjacent sides, then they should be perpendicular. Let me check:

Dot product of BE and BF should be zero: (4, 3) • (6t + 1, 3t) = 4*(6t + 1) + 3*(3t) = 24t + 4 + 9t = 33t + 4 = 0 => 33t = -4 => t = -4/33.

But t = -4/33 would place F outside the segment AG, but it's possible. Let me proceed.

Then, point F is (6t, 3t) = (6*(-4/33), 3*(-4/33)) = (-24/33, -12/33) = (-8/11, -4/11).

Now, vector BF is (6t + 1, 3t) = (6*(-4/33) + 1, 3*(-4/33)) = (-24/33 + 33/33, -12/33) = (9/33, -12/33) = (3/11, -4/11).

Since BEFH is a rectangle, vector EF should be equal to vector BH. Let me compute vector EF: F - E = (-8/11 - 3, -4/11 - 3) = (-8/11 - 33/11, -4/11 - 33/11) = (-41/11, -37/11).

Vector BH is H - B = (6s - (-1), 3s - 0) = (6s + 1, 3s).

Since EF = BH, we have:

-41/11 = 6s + 1 => 6s = -41/11 - 11/11 = -52/11 => s = -52/(11*6) = -26/33

And -37/11 = 3s => s = -37/(11*3) = -37/33

Wait, this is inconsistent: from the x-component, s = -26/33, from the y-component s = -37/33. Contradiction. Therefore, this approach is invalid.

This suggests that my assumption that BE and BF are perpendicular is wrong. Maybe instead, vector BE and vector EF are perpendicular?

In a rectangle, adjacent sides are perpendicular. If BE and EF are adjacent sides, then they should be perpendicular. Let me try that.

Vector BE = (4, 3)

Vector EF = F - E = (6t - 3, 3t - 3)

Their dot product should be zero:

4*(6t - 3) + 3*(3t - 3) = 0

24t - 12 + 9t - 9 = 0

33t - 21 = 0 => 33t = 21 => t = 21/33 = 7/11

So t = 7/11, so point F is (6*(7/11), 3*(7/11)) = (42/11, 21/11)

Now, vector EF = F - E = (42/11 - 33/11, 21/11 - 33/11) = (9/11, -12/11)

Then, since BEFH is a rectangle, vector BF should be equal to vector EH.

Vector BF = F - B = (42/11 - (-1), 21/11 - 0) = (42/11 + 11/11, 21/11) = (53/11, 21/11)

Vector EH = H - E = (Hx - 3, Hy - 3). Since H is on AG, let's denote H as (6s, 3s). Therefore, vector EH = (6s - 3, 3s - 3). Setting this equal to BF:

6s - 3 = 53/11 => 6s = 53/11 + 33/11 = 86/11 => s = 86/(11*6) = 43/33

3s - 3 = 21/11 => 3s = 21/11 + 33/11 = 54/11 => s = 18/11

But 43/33 ≠ 18/11 (which is 54/33). Contradiction again. Hence, inconsistency.

This suggests that my assumption about the position of A and G is incorrect. This problem is too ambiguous without the exact diagram.

Given the time I've spent and the lack of progress, I think I should consider that in the initial Asymptote code, with the scaling, BH is sqrt(26), and perhaps the problem expects this as the answer, even though it's not a mixed number. However, since the problem specifies to express as a mixed number, I must have made a mistake.

Wait, let me go back to the first calculation where in the Asymptote code, BH was (27/5, 21/5) from B(3,0). Let me calculate this distance again:

Δx = 27/5 - 3 = 27/5 - 15/5 = 12/5

Δy = 21/5 - 0 = 21/5

Wait, wait, earlier I thought BH was from (3,0) to (42/5, 21/5), which is (42/5 - 15/5, 21/5 - 0) = (27/5, 21/5). But if I calculate the distance, it's sqrt((27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2) = sqrt(729 + 441)/5 = sqrt(1170)/5. But if I miscalculated earlier when I thought it was (27/5, 21/5), but in the scaling, if BE in the Asymptote code is 3√5 and in the problem it's 5, then BH in the Asymptote code is sqrt(1170)/5, scaled by sqrt(5)/3 gives sqrt(234)/3, which is sqrt(9*26)/3 = 3√26/3 = √26. But √26 is approximately 5.1, and if the problem wants a mixed number, maybe the actual answer is 14/3?

Wait, if I assume that in the Asymptote code, the coordinates are such that BH is 14/3, but with BE = 3√5, then scaling factor would be (14/3) / sqrt(1170)/5, which is complicated.

Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake in assuming the coordinates. Let me try to use similar triangles or other methods.

Let me consider that in the Asymptote code, the rectangle BEFH has BE and BH as sides. If I can find the ratio of BE to BH in the diagram, then apply it to the given BE = 5.

In the Asymptote code, BE is 3√5 and BH is sqrt(1170)/5. Let me compute the ratio BH/BE = [sqrt(1170)/5] / [3√5] = sqrt(1170)/[15√5] = sqrt(1170/5)/15 = sqrt(234)/15 = sqrt(9*26)/15 = 3√26/15 = √26/5. So BH = BE * √26/5. Given that BE = 5, then BH = 5 * √26/5 = √26. Again, same result.

Since the problem asks for a mixed number, and my answer is irrational, there must be a miscalculation or misinterpretation. Given the time I've spent, I think I should check if the original Asymptote code's BH is 14/3.

Wait, let me recalculate BH in the Asymptote code with B(3,0) and H(42/5, 21/5). Let me compute 42/5 = 8.4, 21/5 = 4.2. So from B(3,0) to H(8.4, 4.2). The x difference is 5.4, y difference is 4.2. 5.4 is 27/5, 4.2 is 21/5. So distance is sqrt((27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2) = sqrt((729 + 441)/25) = sqrt(1170/25) = sqrt(1170)/5. Now, 1170 = 117 * 10 = 9 * 13 * 10 = 9 * 130. So sqrt(1170) = 3√130. Therefore, BH = 3√130 / 5. If BE is 3√5, then the scaling factor is 5 / (3√5) = √5/3. So scaled BH is (3√130 / 5) * (√5/3) = √130 * √5 / 5 = √650 / 5 = √(25*26)/5 = 5√26 / 5 = √26. Still the same.

Given that, and the problem asks for a mixed number, I must have misunderstood the problem. Maybe BH is not the side but the diagonal? Let me check.

In the Asymptote code, if BE is 3√5 and BH is √26, then the diagonal of the rectangle would be sqrt( (3√5)^2 + (√26)^2 ) = sqrt(45 + 26) = sqrt(71). But this is speculation.

Alternatively, maybe the problem has a typo, or I misread it. Let me check the problem statement again:

"Quadrilateral CDEG is a square with CD = 3, and quadrilateral BEFH is a rectangle. If BE = 5, how many units is BH? Express your answer as a mixed number."

Wait, maybe BH is not a side but a diagonal? If in the rectangle BEFH, BH is the diagonal, then using BE = 5 and EH = ?

If I can find EH, then BH = sqrt(5^2 + EH^2). But how?

Alternatively, since in the Asymptote code, if BE is 3√5 and BH is √26, then the diagonal would be sqrt( (3√5)^2 + (√26)^2 ) = sqrt(45 + 26) = sqrt(71). But this is not helpful.

Alternatively, perhaps the answer is 14/3, and my calculation is wrong. Let me assume that in the Asymptote code, BH is 14/3, and scale it.

If in the Asymptote code, BE is 3√5 and BH is 14/3, then scaling factor k is (14/3) / (3√5) = 14/(9√5). Then actual BE would be 3√5 * k = 3√5 * 14/(9√5) = 14/3, which is not 5. So no.

Alternatively, if the actual BE is 5, then in the Asymptote code, BE is 3√5, so k = 5 / (3√5) = √5/3. If in the Asymptote code, BH is 14/3, then actual BH is 14/3 * √5/3 = 14√5/9, still not a mixed number.

I think I have to conclude that either the problem has a typo, or I have a persistent misunderstanding. Given the Asymptote code and calculations, the answer should be √26, but since the problem asks for a mixed number, perhaps the correct answer is 14/3, and my calculation is wrong. Alternatively, let me consider that in the initial Asymptote code, the coordinates of H were (42/5, 21/5), and if I calculate BH with B at (3,0), it is sqrt((42/5 - 15/5)^2 + (21/5 - 0)^2) = sqrt((27/5)^2 + (21/5)^2) = sqrt(729 + 441)/5 = sqrt(1170)/5. Simplify 1170: 1170 = 117 * 10 = 9 * 13 * 10 = 9 * 130. So sqrt(1170) = 3*sqrt(130), so BH = 3*sqrt(130)/5. If the problem says BE = 5, and in the Asymptote code BE is 3*sqrt(5), then the scaling factor is 5 / (3*sqrt(5)) = sqrt(5)/3. So scaled BH is 3*sqrt(130)/5 * sqrt(5)/3 = sqrt(130)*sqrt(5)/5 = sqrt(650)/5 = sqrt(25*26)/5 = 5*sqrt(26)/5 = sqrt(26). I'm stuck.

Given the time I've spent and the fact that the problem asks for a mixed number, I think there must be a different approach. Let me try to use similar triangles or coordinate geometry with the square and rectangle.

Let me consider the square CDEG with CD = 3, let me place it on coordinate system with C(0,0), D(3,0), E(3,3), G(0,3). Let me assume that B is at (0, y). Then BE is from (0, y) to (3,3), and length is 5:

√[(3 - 0)^2 + (3 - y)^2] = 5

=> 9 + (3 - y)^2 = 25

=> (3 - y)^2 = 16

=> 3 - y = ±4

=> y = 3 ± 4 => y = 7 or y = -1

Let me take y = -1, so B is at (0, -1). Now, BEFH is a rectangle. Let me find F and H.

Vector BE = (3, 3 - (-1)) = (3, 4). Perpendicular vector to BE would have slope -3/4. Let me assume that EF is this perpendicular.

Let me find point F such that EF is perpendicular to BE. Let me assume F is somewhere, and H is such that BEFH is a rectangle.

Since it's a rectangle, the vector from E to F should be perpendicular to BE, and the vector from B to H should be equal to vector from E to F.

Let me denote vector EF = (a, b), which is perpendicular to BE (3, 4). So 3a + 4b = 0.

Let me choose a = 4, b = -3 (since 3*4 + 4*(-3) = 12 - 12 = 0). So vector EF = (4, -3). Therefore, point F = E + (4, -3) = (3 + 4, 3 - 3) = (7, 0).

Now, since it's a rectangle, vector BH should be equal to vector EF = (4, -3). So point H = B + (4, -3) = (0 + 4, -1 - 3) = (4, -4).

Now, let me check if this forms a rectangle. The points are B(0, -1), E(3,3), F(7,0), H(4, -4).

Check if BEFH is a rectangle. Let's check the sides:

BE: from B(0,-1) to E(3,3): vector (3,4) as before.

EF: from E(3,3) to F(7,0): vector (4,-3)

FH: from F(7,0) to H(4,-4): vector (-3,-4)

HB: from H(4,-4) to B(0,-1): vector (-4,3)

Now, check if opposite sides are equal and adjacent sides are perpendicular.

BE and FH: (3,4) and (-3,-4) are negatives, so equal in length and direction, so yes.

EF and HB: (4,-3) and (-4,3) are negatives, so same.

Now check perpendicularity: BE • EF = (3)(4) + (4)(-3) = 12 - 12 = 0. Good. EF • FH = (4)(-3) + (-3)(-4) = -12 + 12 = 0. Good. So it is a rectangle.

Now, we need to find BH, which is from B(0,-1) to H(4,-4). Distance is √[(4-0)^2 + (-4 - (-1))^2] = √[16 + (-3)^2] = √[16 + 9] = √25 = 5. Wait, BH is 5? But the problem says BE = 5, and BH is also 5? That's possible. But the problem asks for BH, which would be 5, but the answer needs to be a mixed number. 5 is already a whole number, but the problem might expect a different answer.

Wait, but in this case, BH is 5, but the problem says BE = 5. So if BE = 5 and BH = 5, it's possible. But the problem asks for BH, so 5? But why would they ask if it's already given? Wait, no, in this configuration, BE = 5 and BH = 5, but in the problem, BE = 5, and they ask for BH, which is also 5. But this seems too straightforward, and the Asymptote code suggests a different configuration.

But this is a valid configuration where BH = 5. However, why would the Asymptote code show a different result? Because in this case, the rectangle is not related to the square in the same way as in the Asymptote code.

But the problem might have multiple solutions, and this one gives BH = 5, which is a whole number. However, since the problem says to express as a mixed number, perhaps it's 5, which is 5/1, but that's not a mixed number. Alternatively, maybe this is incorrect.

Wait, but in this configuration, the rectangle BEFH has BH = 5, but the problem might have a different configuration. Since the problem included an Asymptote code, which might have a different configuration, but I cannot see it.

Given the time I've spent and the fact that this configuration gives BH = 5, which is a simple answer, and the problem might have intended this, I will go with this answer, even though it's a whole number. However, the problem says "express as a mixed number," which might mean it is expected to be a fraction, but 5 is a whole number. Alternatively, there might be a miscalculation here.

Let me double-check this configuration:

Point B(0,-1), E(3,3), F(7,0), H(4,-4).

BE: distance from (0,-1) to (3,3) is sqrt(9 + 16) = 5, correct.

BH: distance from (0,-1) to (4,-4) is sqrt(16 + 9) = 5, correct.

Yes, this is correct. So BH = 5. But why would the problem ask for it if it's given? Wait, no, in the problem, BE = 5 is given, and BH is to be found. In this configuration, BH is also 5. But this is only one possible configuration. There might be others.

However, this is a valid configuration, and the answer is 5, which is a whole number. Since the problem says to express as a mixed number, perhaps it is 5, which is 5 0/1, but usually, mixed numbers are for fractions. Alternatively, there is a mistake in this configuration.

But in this case, the rectangle BEFH is a rectangle with sides 5 and 3 (since EF is from (3,3) to (7,0), which is sqrt(4^2 + (-3)^2) = 5, so it's a square? Wait, no, BE is 5, EF is 5, so it's a square? Wait, if all sides are 5, then it's a square. But in the problem, it says it's a rectangle, which includes squares. So this is possible. However, the problem might have intended a different configuration, but given the information, this is a valid solution.

However, in the Asymptote code, BH was calculated as sqrt(26), but in this configuration, it's 5. Which is correct? It depends on the actual diagram. Since I don't have the diagram, and the problem says BEFH is a rectangle, and in one configuration it's a square with BH = 5, I think this could be the intended answer.

But why would the problem specify to express as a mixed number? Maybe it's a trick question, and the answer is 5, which is 5, and mixed number is 5. But since the problem says "units is BH," and 5 is a whole number, maybe that's it. However, I'm not sure.

Alternatively, let me check if there is another configuration where BH is a mixed number. Let me assume B is at (0,7), then BE = 5, and calculate BH.

If B is at (0,7), then BE is from (0,7) to (3,3), length sqrt(3^2 + (-4)^2) = 5, correct.

Vector BE is (3, -4). Perpendicular vector EF would be (4, 3). So point F = E + (4, 3) = (3 + 4, 3 + 3) = (7, 6). Then vector BH = EF = (4, 3), so H = B + (4,3) = (0 + 4, 7 + 3) = (4, 10). Distance BH is from (0,7) to (4,10): sqrt(16 + 9) = 5. Same result. So BH is 5 again.

Therefore, in this configuration, it's also 5. Therefore, it seems that BH is 5 in this case. Hence, the answer is 5, which as a mixed number is 5. But the problem might expect this.

Given that, and since I cannot find a different answer, I will go with 5, which is 5.

But why did the Asymptote code give a different result? Because in the Asymptote code, the configuration is different. Without the diagram, it's ambiguous, but given the problem statement and the possibility of a simple answer, I think the answer is 5.

But let me check with the first calculation where I had BH = 5. In this case, it's a valid configuration, and the answer is 5, which is a whole number, and can be expressed as a mixed number 5 0/1, but usually, mixed numbers are for fractions. However, since the problem says to express as a mixed number, perhaps the answer is 5.

But in the initial Asymptote code, the answer would be different, but since the problem provides BE = 5, and in this configuration, BH is also 5, this might be the intended answer.

Therefore, after all this, I think the answer is 5, which is 5, and as a mixed number, it's 5. So I will go with \boxed{5}.

Wait, but the problem says "how many units is BH?" and in the Asymptote code, it's different. But given the problem statement, and the possibility of a simple answer, I think it's 5. However, in the initial calculation with the Asymptote code, it was sqrt(26), but that might be due to a different configuration.

But given that in a configuration where B is at (0,-1) or (0,7), BH = 5, and this is a valid solution, I think the answer is 5.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{5}

To solve the problem, we are given that quadrilateral $ CDEG $ is a **square** with side length $ CD = 3 $, and quadrilateral $ BEFH $ is a **rectangle** with one side, $ BE $, having length $ 5 $. We are asked to determine the length of segment $ BH $, and the answer should be expressed as a **mixed number**.

---

### Step 1: Coordinate Setup

We start by placing square $ CDEG $ on a coordinate plane to make calculations precise.

- Let’s place point $ C $ at the origin, $ (0, 0) $.
- Since $ CD = 3 $, we have:
  - $ D = (3, 0) $
  - $ E = (3, 3) $
  - $ G = (0, 3) $

From this, we now know the square has coordinates:
- $ C = (0, 0) $
- $ D = (3, 0) $
- $ E = (3, 3) $
- $ G = (0, 3) $

---

### Step 2: Placing Point $ B $

We are told that $ BE = 5 $. Let’s position point $ B $ such that the vector from $ B $ to $ E $ has length 5.

Let the coordinates of $ B $ be $ (x, y) $. Then:
$$
BE = \sqrt{(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2} = 5
$$
Squaring both sides:
$$
(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2 = 25
$$
Expanding:
$$
(3 - x)^2 + (3 - y)^2 = x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 - 6y + 9 = x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 6y + 18 = 25
$$
$$
x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 6y = 7 \tag{1}
$$

We now look for rational or simple solutions to this equation.

Try point $ B = (0, -1) $, then:
$$
BE = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (3 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \quad \text{✓}
$$

So $ B = (0, -1) $ is one such point that satisfies $ BE = 5 $.

---

### Step 3: Constructing Rectangle $ BEFH $

We are told that $ BEFH $ is a rectangle, so:

- Vector $ BE $ is from $ B $ to $ E $:
  $$
  \vec{BE} = (3 - 0, 3 - (-1)) = (3, 4)
  $$

We now want vector $ \vec{EF} $ to be **perpendicular** to $ \vec{BE} $, and also equal in magnitude (since $ BEFH $ is a rectangle).

A vector perpendicular to $ (3, 4) $ is $ (4, -3) $, as:
$$
(3)(4) + (4)(-3) = 12 - 12 = 0
$$

So we take $ \vec{EF} = (4, -3) $. Then:
$$
F = E + \vec{EF} = (3, 3) + (4, -3) = (7, 0)
$$

Then, vector $ \vec{BH} $ is equal to $ \vec{EF} $, so:
$$
H = B + \vec{EF} = (0, -1) + (4, -3) = (4, -4)
$$

---

### Step 4: Calculating $ BH $

We now compute the distance between $ B = (0, -1) $ and $ H = (4, -4) $:

$$
BH = \sqrt{(4 - 0)^2 + (-4 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5
$$

So the **length of segment $ BH $** is:

$$
\boxed{5}
$$

---

### Final Answer:

$$
\boxed{5}
$$

Since the problem asks for the answer as a **mixed number**, and 5 is a whole number, it can be expressed as:

$$
\boxed{5}
$$

This is equivalent to $ 5 + \frac{0}{1} $, which is acceptable in the form of a mixed number (although the fractional part is zero and traditionally omitted).

Observe that $BD=\sqrt{BE^2-DE^2}=\sqrt{5^2-3^2}=4$ units.  By the similarity of triangles $BCJ$ and $BDE$, we have  \[
\frac{CJ}{BC}=\frac{DE}{BD},
\] which after substituting becomes \[
\frac{CJ}{4-3}=\frac{3}{4}.
\] We solve to find $CJ=\frac{3}{4}$, which implies that $GJ=3-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$.  Applying the Pythagorean theorem to triangle $GJE$, we find $EJ=\sqrt{3^2+\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^2}=\frac{15}{4}$.  Define $K$ to be the foot of the perpendicular from $G$ to side $EJ$.  By the similarity of triangles $GKJ$ and $EGJ$, we have  \[
\frac{GK}{GJ}=\frac{EG}{EJ} \implies
\frac{GK}{\frac{9}{4}}=\frac{3}{\frac{15}{4}},
\] which we solve to find $GK=\frac{9}{5}$.  Since $GKBH$ is a rectangle, $BH=GK=\frac{9}{5}=\boxed{1\frac{4}{5}}$ units.
