    35/3 ft = 11 2/3 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We make a table of the lengths of the sides in descending order of side length. Each line contains two corresponding sides.

    Quadrilateral Quadrilateral

    ABCD EFGH

    Side 1 20 ft?

    Side 2 18 ft?

    Side 3 14 ft 6 ft

    Side 4? 5 ft

    The line corresponding to side 3 is the only line that has the lengths of both corresponding sides.

    The ratio of the length of sides in ABCD to EFGH is 14/6 = 7/3.

    To find the length of the 4th sides of ABCD, we multiply the length of the 4th side of EFGH by the ratio.

    7/3 * 5 ft = 35/3 ft = 11 2/3 ft
