Answer:

z = 7.5

Explanation:

Polygon ABCD and polygon EFGH are similar, therefore, their sides would be proportional to each other. This means the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal to each other.

BC corresponds to FG

CD corresponds to GH

Therefore:

8/6 = 10/z

4/3 = 10/z

Cross multiply

4*z = 10*3

4z = 30

4z/4 = 30/4

z = 7.5
