Refer to the diagram below.
Because ray NP bisects ∠MNQ, therefore
∠MNP = ∠PNQ = 2x + 1.
Therefore
∠MNQ = 2*∠PNQ = 2(2x + 1) = 4x + 2.
Because ∠MNQ is given as x² - 10, therefore
x² - 10 = 4x + 2
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
(x + 2 )(x - 6) = 0
x = -2, or x = 6
When x = -2,
∠MNQ = 4*(-2) + 2 = -6°
This answer is not acceptablle, therefore x = -2 should be rejected.
When x = 6,
∠MNQ = 4*6 + 2 = 26°
Answer: x = 6, and ∠MNQ = 26°

Sketch the two quadrilaterals and label them as shown in the figure below.
Let x = length of the 4th side of ABCD.
Because ABCD ~ EFGH, therefore
x/5 = 14/6
That is,
x = (5/6)*14 = 11.67 ft
Answer: D. 11.7 ft
