Answer:
Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle ADE and triangle ABC
From the figure:
[Angle] [Given]
[Angle]
AA(Angle-Angle) similarity criterion states that in two triangles if two pairs of corresponding angles are equal, then these triangle Similar.
By AA similarity:
⇒
If you want to know the concept of square roots and cube roots ?
the square root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself two times gives us that number
e.g.
√64 = x , so that (x)(x) = 64
and from our multiplication table we know that
(8)(8) = 64 , so that
√64 = 8
the cube root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself three times gives us that number
e.g.
∛64 = x , so that (x)(x)(x) = 64 , and thus x = 4 because 4x4x4 = 64
so ∛64 = 4

area = width * length
or
A = W * L
55 = W * (W+6)
solve for width:
0 = W^2 + 6W - 55
this is a quadratic and has two solutions -11 and 5
a length can only be non-negative so discard -11.
width W = 5 miles
now the length is 5+6 = 11 miles
