Answer:


RP=11.2\ ft

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem


(RP)/(CA)=(QR)/(BC)

substitute the given values


(RP)/(16.8)=(14)/(21)

solve for RP


RP=(14)/(21)(16.8)


RP=11.2\ ft
