1. **State the problem:** We have two triangles ABC and EFD with given sides and angles. We want to find the length $x = ED$ in triangle EFD.
2. **Identify the triangles:** Both triangles have the same angles: 47°, 58°, and 75°, so they are similar triangles by the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity criterion.
3. **Use similarity ratios:** Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. The sides correspond as follows:
- $AB$ corresponds to $ED$
- $BC$ corresponds to $EF$
- $AC$ corresponds to $DF$ (not given)
4. **Set up the proportion:** Using the sides we know,
$$\frac{AB}{ED} = \frac{BC}{EF}$$
Substitute the known values:
$$\frac{9}{x} = \frac{10}{20}$$
5. **Solve for $x$:** Cross-multiply:
$$9 \times 20 = 10 \times x$$
$$180 = 10x$$
Divide both sides by 10:
$$\cancel{10}x = \frac{180}{\cancel{10}}$$
$$x = 18$$
6. **Answer:** The length $ED$ is 18.
This is the exact value, no rounding needed.
