Step-by-step explanation:

Angles XVW and XYZ are congruent, and so are angles VWX and XZY by the alternate interior angles theorem.

This means that triangle VWX is similar to triangle YZX.

So, since corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, VW/XY = WX / XZ.

120/8 = 15 = WX / 6.

So the width is 90 m.
