In dilation, corresponding sides of similar shapes are proportional. So, we can set up the following proportion:
2/3.6 = 5/x
Cross multiplying, we get:
2x = 3.6 * 5
2x = 18
x = 9
Therefore, the value of x is 9.
2/3.6 = 5/x
Cross multiplying, we get:
2x = 3.6 * 5
2x = 18
x = 9
Therefore, the value of x is 9.

Since the two rectangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides will be the same.
Let's set up the proportion:
length of smaller rectangle / length of larger rectangle = width of smaller rectangle / width of larger rectangle
3.4 ft / 17 ft = 5.7 ft / x
Simplifying the proportion:
0.2 = 5.7 / x
Cross multiplying:
0.2x = 5.7
Dividing both sides by 0.2:
x = 5.7 / 0.2
x ≈ 28.5
Therefore, the width of the larger rectangle is approximately 28.5 ft.
