Answer
x = 4.4'
y = 5.6'
Work Step by Step
Since the two boats have the same shape - or they are similar to each other, then their corresponding sides will be in proportion.
Thus,
$\frac{11}{x}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$ = $\frac{14}{y}$
$\frac{11}{x}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$
Cross multiplying,
11(2) = 5x
x = $\frac{22}{5}$ =4.4
$\frac{5}{2}$ = $\frac{14}{y}$
Cross multiplying,
5y = 14(2)
y = $\frac{28}{5}$ = 5.6
