The issue is about which edges are in the same plane as which other edges. If this is a polyhedron, AD and BE must be coplanar, and BE and CF must be coplanar. Extending the edges into lines, they don't form a 3-way intersection. G gets projected to the same screen point as some point on line AD, but the only way G can be on line AD is if AD and FC are coplanar. If all three of AD, BE, and FC are coplanar, the entire figure is a flat pentagon (and DE, BE, and FE are not edges).

If G isn't on line AD, then BE and CF can't be a side of the same truncated pyramid.
