ANSWER

DE = 7.9

EXPLANATION

As shown in the diagram, these two triangles are similar by the AA postulate. The corresponding sides are: AC-DF, AB-DE, BC-EF.

In similar triangles, the ratio between corresponding sides must be constant:

[tex]\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EF}[/tex]

Replacing with the measures we know we can solve for DE:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{11}{DE}=\frac{14}{10} \\ DE=11\cdot\frac{10}{14} \\ DE\approx7.9 \end{gathered}[/tex]
