Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we use the fact that the quadrilaterals and are similar, meaning their corresponding sides are proportional.
The given dimensions are:
- (corresponding to )
- (corresponding to )
Using the proportionality of corresponding sides:
Substitute the values:
Simplify the left-hand side:
Solve for :
Thus, the value of is .
The correct answer is A. 11 m.
