Answer:

x = 26.4 m

Explanation:

Given the triangles are similar , then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion.

the corresponding sides are

x and 11 , 15.6 and 6.5 , 33.6 and 14

Then


(x)/(11) =
(15.6)/(6.5) ( cross- multiply )

6.5x = 11 × 15.6 = 171.6 ( divide both sides by 6.5 )

x = 26.4 m
