Remark

If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP


From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.


Givens

PQ = 8

QR = 5

RS = 15

ST = x + 3


Ratio

QR/RP = RS/RT


Sub and solve

RP = 5 + 8

RP = 13


RT = 15 + x + 3

RT = 18 + x


5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply

5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.

90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.

5x = 105 Divide by 5

x = 105/5

x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<

The right triangle with  angle  45 ° has adjacent leg 9 feet

So the opposite leg is calculated from

tan 45 = opposite leg / adjacent leg ⇒ adjacent leg = 9 tan 45 = 9.

That is the distance bc.

The right triangle with angle 60° has adjacent leg 9 and opposite leg (x+9), where x is the distance ab.

Then tan(60) = (x+9) / 9 ⇒x+9 = 9 tan(60)

x + 9 = 15.59

x = 15.59 - 9 = 6.59

Answer: 6.59 feet
