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.

Q.34

\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}420\left(1.002\right)^{k-1}

The infinite geometric series is converges if |r| < 1.

We have r =1.002 > 1, therefore our infinite geometric series is Diverges

Answer: c. Diverges, sum not exist.

Q.35

\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}-5\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)^{k-1}

The infinite geometric series is converges if |r| < 1.

We have r = 4/5 < 1, therefore our infinite geometric series is converges.

The sum S of an infinite geometric series with |r| < 1 is given by the formula :

S=\dfrac{a_1}{1-r}

We have:

a_1=-5\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)^{1-1}=-5\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)^0=-5\\\\r=\dfrac{4}{5}

substitute:

S=\dfrac{-5}{1-\frac{4}{5}}=-\dfrac{5}{\frac{1}{5}}=-5\cdot\dfrac{5}{1}=-25

Answer: c. Converges, -25.
