As the 2 quadrilaterals are congruent the sides of one quadrilateral are equal to the corresponding sides of the other quadrilateral
Hence,
AB = PQ
RQ = BC
AD = PS
DC = RS
Since terms for both AB and PQ are given we can equate the terms and find m
5m -9 = m + 11
5m -m = 11 + 9
4m = 20
m = 5
Correct answer is D , 5
