Question

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 100 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 22 ft further and marks point D. She turns 90 degrees and walks until her location, point A, and point C are collinear. She marks point E at that location. Suppose DE = 32 ft. What can Kayla conclude about the width of the river? explain.

Answer 1

You are given Kayla’s walking distance along the edge of the river 100 ft and marks point c the she walks 100 fr further and marks point D and she turn 90 degrees and walks until her location point A and point c are collinear she marks point e at this location ABC and EDC are congruent
