Given:


\text{ABCD}\approx QRST

We need to find the length m.

Since the given figures are similar.

Then, the corresponding sides are proportional.

Therefore,


(AB)/(QR)=(BC)/(RS)=(CD)/(ST)=(DA)/(TQ)

Considering (2)=(4), we get


\begin{gathered} (BC)/(RS)=(DA)/(TQ) \\ (12)/(m)=(12)/(3) \\ 12*3=m*12 \\ 3=m \\ \therefore m=3 \end{gathered}

Hence, the length m is 3.
