Answer:
C.) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the triangle: angles b and c have the same arch, so they are congruent.
In a triangle, if two angles are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles, having two equal sides.
The sides opposite the congruent angles are congruent:
∠B → opposite side → AC
∠C → opposite side → AB
The sides AB and AC are equal. Make an equation:
Simplify the equation, solving for x. Add 7 to both sides:
Subtract 2x from both sides:
The value of x is 7. Insert the value of x into the given length of AC:
Simplify multiplication:
Subtract:
Therefore, the length of the line segment AC is 14.

<h3>The ladder will reach a height of 11.8 feet up the wall</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
The ladder, wall and base of the ladder from wall forms a right angled triangle
Length of ladder forms the hypotenuse
Length of ladder = 12 foot
base of the ladder from wall = 2 feet
<em><u>To find: height of wall</u></em>
By pythagoras theorem.
Where,
"c" is the Length of ladder
"a" is the base of the ladder from wall
"b" is the height of wall
Substituting the values,
Thus, the ladder will reach a height of 11.8 feet on wall
