Option A i believe but i dont know for sure
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
sum means addition
the problem says sum of -4x and 2 meaning -4x + 2
the word "is" right before 9 means equals 9
Since the two triangles are proportional, there is a scale for going from one triangle to the other
The correct answer is Choice B: 53.0 feet.
If you draw a picture of the cross section, you will have a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 58 and one of the legs is 23.6. All you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.
x^2 + 23.6^2 = 58^2
