A property owner wants to find the length $x$, in feet, across a pond as represented in the figure. $\overline{PR}$ intersects $\overline{ST}$ at point $Q$, and $\angle PTQ$ is congruent to $\angle RSQ$. The lengths represented by $PQ,TQ,QS$, and $RS$ were determined to be $4,900$ feet, $9,800$ feet, $1,400$ feet, and $1,400$ feet, respectively. What is the value of $x$?
