Answer:

C. 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 relation, they are congruent, and  

    AC = EC

5x - 5 = 3x + 9

    5x = 3x + 14

    2x = 14

      x = 7

AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30 ft

EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 ft

Distance between top and bottom of bridge = AC + EC = 30 + 30 = 60 ft

  2·370 m = 740 m . . . . . length of fence needed

__

The area of a parallelogram is the product of base and height.

  A = bh = (220 m)(100 m) = 22,000 m^2 . . . . area the fence encloses
