Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding sides are congruent, then

CA = NE , that is

4x + 3 = 11 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 2

----------------------------------------

AR = EW, that is

4y - 12 = 10 ( add 12 to both sides )

4y = 22 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 5.5

-------------------------------------------

NW = x + y = 2 + 5.5 = 7.5

CR = NW = 7.5
