Answer:

80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the light house be x feet.

$\therefore \: \frac{128}{8} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ x = \frac{128 \times 5}{8} \\ \\ x = \frac{640}{8} \\ \\ x = 80 \: feet$

What is the length of line segment KJ?

Karolina [17]

Please consider the attached file.

We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:

$KJ^2=KM^2+MJ^2$

$KJ^2=6^2+3^2$

$KJ^2=36+9$

$KJ^2=45$

Now we will take positive square root on both sides:

$\sqrt{KJ^2}=\sqrt{45}$

$KJ=\sqrt{9\cdot 5}$

$KJ=3\sqrt{5}$

Therefore, the length of line segment KJ is $3\sqrt{5}$ and option D is the correct choice.
