As the exercise says, the triangles are similar. So, we can set up proportions between correspondent sides.

In order to solve for x we can set up the proportion between the horizontal and vertical sides:

28\div 11.2 = 27+x \div x

Solving this proportion for x implies x=18

Now you can solve for m and p using the pythagorean theorem, because both triangles are right:

m = \sqrt{18^2+11.2^2} =21.2

Then, we know that the hypothenuse of the big triangle is m+p, so we have

m+p=\sqrt{(18+27)^2+28^2} = 53

which implies

p = 53-p = 53-21.2=31.8
