Problem

In this figure $\angle RFS=\angle FDR$, $FD=4$ inches, $DR=6$ inches, $FR=5$ inches, $FS=7\dfrac{1}{2}$ inches. The length of $RS$, in inches, is:

$\textbf{(A) }\text{undetermined}\qquad\textbf{(B) }4\qquad\textbf{(C) }5\dfrac{1}{2}\qquad\textbf{(D) }6\qquad\textbf{(E) }6\dfrac{1}{2}\qquad$
