Answer:

x=68

Explanation:

We begin by setting up as a proportion. 99.2 and 112 ft are across from each other so we can put those as our numerators. Additionally 62 and (x+2) ft are across from each other so we can put those as denominators. Now we can set up our proportion and begin to cross multiply:

99.2/62 = 112/(x+2) is our equation. It might help you see it clearly to write it out as fractions. From here, we cross multiply.

When we do that, we get x=68
