Sine Ratio
1. **State the problem:**
We are given the ratio \( \frac{\sin 50}{u} = \frac{\sin 55}{x} \) and the value \( u = 11.8 \). We want to find \( x \).
2. **Use the formula:**
From the given ratio, cross-multiply to solve for \( x \):
$$ x = \frac{u \times \sin 55}{\sin 50} $$
3. **Substitute the known values:**
$$ x = \frac{11.8 \times \sin 55}{\sin 50} $$
4. **Calculate the sine values:**
\( \sin 55^\circ \approx 0.8192 \)
\( \sin 50^\circ \approx 0.7660 \)
5. **Evaluate \( x \):**
$$ x = \frac{11.8 \times 0.8192}{0.7660} = \frac{9.661}{0.7660} \approx 12.61 $$
6. **Interpretation:**
The value of \( x \) is approximately 12.61 units.

**Additional answers given:**
- Answer 11.8 m corresponds to \( u \).
- Answer 23 and 38 likely relate to other parts of the problem involving the quadrilateral and angles.
**Summary:**
Using the sine ratio and given \( u = 11.8 \), we find \( x \approx 12.61 \).

**Note on the quadrilateral:**
- Vertices: A (top), B (bottom-left), E (bottom-right), F (bottom-most).
- Side AF is vertical with length 15 units.
- BE = 11 units.
- Angles: \( \angle FBE = 75^\circ \), \( \angle BEF = 55^\circ \), \( \angle ABF = 90^\circ \).
- Right triangle at B.
