Answer:
24 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image, we can see that AB and DE are both adjacent sides of their respective triangles.
While, CE and BC are both opposite sides of their respective triangles
Now, from your side, x is the distance to the island.
So, from ratio of similar triangles, we can find x.
Thus;
8/x = 3/9
Cross multiply to get;
8 × 9 = 3x
3x = 72
x = 72/3
x = 24
Thus, distance from your side to the island is 24 yards
