See attached picture and check solution below.
We are given with the following values:
A = length of transmission line = 96ft
B = length of shadow = 72 feet
C = distance of ladder to base of transmission line = 66 feet
Solve for angle created between the wire and tip of the shadow:
tan x = opposite/ adjacent
tan x = 96 feet / 72 feet
x = 53.13°
Solving for the height of the ladder:
tan x = Ladder length / (72-66)
tan 53.13° * (72-66) = ladder length
ladder length = 8 feet
The answer is letter "B" which is 8 feet.
Answer:
IT IS REALLY 31

Step-by-step explanation:
Approach: If four numbers a, b, c and d are in proportion then a:b = c:d. The solution is to sort the four numbers and pair up the first 2 together and the last 2 together and check their ratios this is because, in order for them to be in proportion, the product of means has to be equal to the product of extremes.
