The image shows two geometric shapes, each with labeled vertices, side lengths, and a missing variable $x$ in the second shape (on the right). To proceed, I will analyze the figures and solve for $x$, provided there is a relationship between the two shapes or additional conditions implied.

If these two shapes are similar polygons (based on proportional side lengths), we can use their corresponding sides to set up and solve proportions. Let me proceed with that assumption unless additional details are provided.

Steps to Solve:

1. The first polygon is labeled $ABCDE$, with side lengths:

   • $AB = 5$, $BC = 4$, $CD = 2$, $DE = 4$, and $EA = 3$.

2. The second polygon is labeled $QRSTP$, with side lengths:

   • $QR = 8$, $RS = 4$, $ST = 8$, $TP = 6$, and $QP = x$ (unknown).

3. Assuming similarity:

   • Corresponding sides of the polygons are proportional. Using known side pairs, establish the ratio and solve for $x$.

Let’s calculate: Given side lengths of the two polygons

Polygon ABCDE (smaller)

AB = 5 BC = 4 CD = 2 DE = 4 EA = 3

Polygon QRSTP (larger)

QR = 8 RS = 4 ST = 8 TP = 6

Assume similarity and calculate the scale factor (using corresponding sides)

scale_factor = QR / BC # Corresponding sides are QR and BC

Solve for the missing side QP (corresponding to AB in the smaller polygon)

QP = AB * scale_factor scale_factor, QPThe scale factor between the two polygons is $2.0$. Using this, the missing side $QP$ (corresponding to $AB$ in the smaller polygon) is calculated as:

$QP = AB \times \text{scale factor} = 5 \times 2 = 10$

Thus, $x = 10$.
