To find the length of the missing side, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar figures.
Let x be the length of the missing side.
Using the given sides of the figures, we have:
5/6 = x/8
Cross multiply to solve for x:
5 * 8 = 6x
40 = 6x
x = 40 / 6
x = 6.67
Therefore, the length of the missing side is approximately 6.67.
