Answer:

8

Explanation:

HF and DE are parallel to each other ( since corresponding angles are equal = 90°) .

Hence the smaller and the larger triangle will be similar to each other.

Also we know the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional .

=> 10 / z = 10+5/12

=> 10/z = 15/12

=> z = 10 *12/15

=> z = 8 yards
