Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 96 square ft
I saw the image. It formed 2 right triangles. 1 small and 1 big.
small triangle has a long leg of 4 feet and hypotenuse of 6 feet.
big triangle has a long leg of (x) and hypotenuse of 6 + 12 ft.
proportion:
4/6 = x / 18
4 * 18 = 6x
72 = 6x
72/6 = x
12 = x
The distance from the base of the stairs to the tallest column is 12 feet.
