Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Comparing the shortest sides, that is

10 : 6 = 5 : 3

let the longest side be x, then using proportion

\frac{26}{5} = \frac{x}{3} ( cross- multiply )

5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 15.6

The longest side is 15.6 ft
