I don't see the diagram or the side lengths, so I can't compute x yet. Could you either upload the picture or type the lengths and which sides correspond in the two quadrilaterals?

How to solve once I have the info:
1. Identify corresponding vertices (e.g. A ↔ A', B ↔ B', C ↔ C', D ↔ D') so you know which sides correspond.
2. Write a proportion using any pair of corresponding sides whose lengths are given, e.g.
(side in smaller)/(corresponding side in larger) = (other side in smaller)/(corresponding other side in larger).
3. Solve that proportion for x.

Example: if ABCD ~ A'B'C'D' and AB = 9, A'B' = 6, and B'C' = x while BC = 11, then scale factor = 6/9 = 2/3, so x = (2/3)*11 = 22/3.

If you post the specific lengths from the diagram I will compute x and pick the correct answer.
