Answer:
175 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
(a) ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar because all the angles in ΔABC is equal to the corresponding angles in ΔEDC.
I.e, ΔABC is equiangular to ΔEDC. (AAA).
(b) From the diagram.
for similar angle, ratio of corresponding sides are equal
100/d = 4x/7x
100/d = 4/7
where d = distance across the river
solve for d
d = (100×7)/4
d = 175 ft
Ok sure and one more thing are you smart at geometry like 100% smart
Answer:
when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply
What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:
8/x=14/7
you would take 14*x and 8*7
14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)
x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)
8/4=14/7
To check your work you could simplify
8/4=2
14/7=2
2=2, which is true
x=4
Hope this helps ;)
This is the answer ,you should first do the multiplication then the sum.
