Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

ΔABC and ΔDEF are the similar triangles.

Therefore, by the property of similar triangles, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF}= \frac{AC}{DF}

\frac{5.75}{18}=\frac{BC}{12}

BC = \frac{12\times 5.75}{18}

BC = 3.83 ft

Option (A) will be the correct option.

o-na [289]

\text{Use FOIL method:}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x+1)(x+2)(y-3)=[(x)(x)+(x)(2)+(1)(x)+(1)(2)](y-3)\\\\=(x^2+2x+x+2)(y-3)=(x^2+3x+2)(y-3)\\\\=(x^2)(y)+(x^2)(-3)+(3x)(y)+(3x)(-3)+(2)(y)+(2)(-3)\\\\=\boxed{x^2y-3x^2+3xy-9x+2y-6}
