Answer:


\huge\boxed{25.2\ m}

Explanation:

In order to find the length of the missing side here, we must note that these triangles are similar.

Therefore their lengths are proportionate to each other.

So,


(27.6)/(11.5) = (x)/(10.5)

We can solve for x by cross multiplying.


10.5\cdot 27.6 = 289.8\\\\289.8 / 11.5 = 25.2

Hope this helped!
