<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The missing diagram is shown below. Remember that shapes are similar if you can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling. So this means you can make the object bigger or smaller. So in this case, we know that ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF. If so, we can establish the following proportion:

\frac{h}{56.7}=\frac{17.2}{52.4} \\ \\ h=56.7\times \frac{17.2}{52.4} \\ \\ h=18.61m

Our goal is to find x. So by Pythagorean theorem:

x=\sqrt{17.2^2+18.61^2} \\ \\ \boxed{x=25.34m}

Conclusion:

<em>ΔABC ~ΔDEF</em>

<em>Distance across the river is 25.34m </em>

Answer:

  A.  2x(x+1)(x-6); 0, -1, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are the values of x that make the factors zero. That is, for binomial factors, they are the opposite of the constant in the binomial factor. For example, the factor (x+1) will be zero when x = -1, so that -1+1 = 0.

This observation eliminates choices B and C.

__

The product of binomial factors looks like this:

  (x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x +ab . . . . . x-coefficient is (a+b)

Once 2x is factored from the given polynomial, the resulting quadratic is ...

  x^2 -5x -6

This means the sum of the constants in the binomial terms must be -5. That will only be the case for choice A.
