Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = length of flagpole = 12 ft
AB = length of shadow = 14 ft
BC = length from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow = x ft
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x,
x² = AC² + BC²
= 12² + 14²
= 144 + 196
= 340
x = √340
x = 18.4 ft
we know that
<u>The Division Property of Equality</u> states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same number, both sides of the equation will remain equal
so
in this problem we have
Solve for x
Using the Division Property of Equality, Divide by both sides
therefore
<u>the answer is the option</u>
