First, find the ratio between the two polygons. Lets take segment MG and TV since they are congruent. MG is 4, TV is 3. The ratio of MG to TV is 4:3. We can write it as 4/3. Since other arts are congruent as well, then NK is congruent to PR, and has a ratio of 4:3. This means that (3x-2)/(x+4) is equal to 4/3. Now solve for x
(3x-2)/(x+4)=4/3
3(3x-2)=4(x+4) ---cross multiply
9x-6=4x+16
9x-4x-6=4x-4x+16 ---subtract 4x from both sides
5x-6=16
5x-6+6=16+6 ---add 6 on both sides
5x=22
5x/5=22/5 ---divide 5 on both sides
x=22/5

The picture of the calendar is shown in the attached image.
Now, first we will get the volume of the calendar itself, we can note the calendar has the shape of a triangular prism.
Volume of triangular prism = area of base * depth
The area of base = area of triangle = 1/2 * base * depth
Therefore:
Volume of prism = 1/2 * base * height * depth
where:
base = 4 in
height is he height of the base = 6 in
depth is the depth of the calendar = 8 in
Therefore:
Volume of calendar = 1/2 * 4 * 6 * 8 = 96 in^3
Now, we are given that the volume of each candy is 2 in^3, this means that:
number of candies to fill the calendar = volume of calendar / volume of candy
= 96/2
= 48 candies
Hope this helps :)
