Answer 1

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
