They can’t be similar. Similar triangles have congruent corresponding angles, and two angles are given on each. Neither of those correspond to another on the opposite triangle. Basically, there’s no way to have three congruent angles, so they aren’t similar.
The length of TR<span> ≅ The length of XW</span>
2.4080 meters.
Remember that the definition of work is force over distance. And that the gravitational potential energy that the turtle has will exactly match the work performed in lifting it. So have the following variables
Mass = 860.24 kg
Work = 20320.7 J = 20320.7 kg*m^2/s^2
Gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2
And we wish to get an answer in meters. So we need to multiply and divide the three numbers we have with all their related units and derive an answer with the unit of m. We can cancel out most of the units by dividing the work by the gravitational acceleration, so
20320.7 kg*m^2/s^2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = <span>
<span>2071.427 kg*m
Now we can cancel out the kg unit by dividing by the mass of the turtle. So
</span></span><span>
2071.427 kg*m / 860.24 kg = </span><span>
<span>2.407964 m
Rounding to 5 significant figures gives 2.4080 meters.

If you want an explanation I would be happy to provide you with one, but I do not want to have to explain the entire thing right here because it would be really long.
