2015 AMC 10B Problem 22

In the figure shown below, ABCDE is a regular pentagon and AG=1. What is FG+JH+CD? [asy]import cse5;pathpen=black;pointpen=black; size(2inch); pair A=dir(90), B=dir(18), C=dir(306), D=dir(234), E=dir(162); D(MP("A",A,A)--MP("B",B,B)--MP("C",C,C)--MP("D",D,D)--MP("E",E,E)--cycle,linewidth(1.5)); D(A--C--E--B--D--cycle); pair F=IP(A--D,B--E), G=IP(B--E,C--A), H=IP(C--A,B--D), I=IP(D--B,E--C), J=IP(C--E,D--A); D(MP("F",F,dir(126))--MP("I",I,dir(270))--MP("G",G,dir(54))--MP("J",J,dir(198))--MP("H",H,dir(342))--cycle); [/asy]

\textbf{(A) } 3 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 12-4\sqrt5 \qquad\textbf{(C) } \dfrac{5+2\sqrt5}{3} \qquad\textbf{(D) } 1+\sqrt5 \qquad\textbf{(E) } \dfrac{11+11\sqrt5}{10}
