The triangles ABC and EDF are congruent, meaning they have the same side lengths and angles measures.
The measure of DF, as both triangles are congruent, is equal to the measure of BC.
We can calculate the length of BC using the distance formula:
![\begin{gathered} D=\sqrt[]{(x_c-x_b)^2+(y_c-y_b_{})^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{(2-2)^2+(-1-4)^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{0^2+(-5)^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{(-5)^2} \\ D=|-5| \\ D=5 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28x_c-x_b%29%5E2%2B%28y_c-y_b_%7B%7D%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%282-2%29%5E2%2B%28-1-4%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B0%5E2%2B%28-5%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28-5%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20D%3D%7C-5%7C%20%5C%5C%20D%3D5%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
As BC is congruent with DF and BC=5, the length of DF is 5 units.

8 x 4 = 32
Cost of gas = $32
Answer:
Andy
Step-by-step explanation:
Ashely rode the caterpillar till the half of her journey. And Andy crawled all the way.
Crawling is twice as fast as riding the caterpillar, so by the time Ashley got to the half of her journey, Andy would have already reached their friends house.
The horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is: 11.8 foot
