In any similar figure sides are in proportion.The second largest side of quadrilateral ABCD is 16 ft .Let the second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH be x ft. These sides will be in proportion to each other .

The second shortest side of quadrilateral EFGH that is GF will be proportional to the third longest side of quadrilateral ABCD that is BC

We can form a proportion with the proportional sides:

$\frac{16}{x} =\frac{12}{18}$

To solve for x we cross multiply

12x=(16)(18)

12x=288

Dividing both sides by 12 we get

x=24.

The second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH is 24 ft.
