I need help with number 2 ASAP!!!!! The pictures is number 2.

Answer:
[tex]a=22.5\ units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal
so
In this problem
If polygon RSUPE is similar to polygon KQUIC
then
[tex]\frac{RS}{KQ}=\frac{RE}{KC}[/tex]
substitutes the values and solve for a
[tex]\frac{a+2}{14}=\frac{17.5}{10}\\ \\10a+20=14*17.5\\ \\10a=245-20\\ \\a=225/10\\ \\a=22.5\ units[/tex]
