How do I find segment (x) in this trapezoid? (ABCD)

.

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

I'm not entirely sure, but I think there are two similar trapezoids there: ABFE and EFCD are similar.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes indeed. If not congruent then they are very close to being congruence.

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Not congruent, similar. Since they're similar, you can use ratio of sides equality: \[\frac{ 12.6 }{ 8.8 } = \frac{ 8.8 }{ x }\]
