(60 points to best answer) (asap and you)
kayla wants to find the distance, ab, across a creek. she starts at point b and walks along the edge of the river 62 ft and marks point c. then she walks 93 ft further and marks point d. she turns 90° and walks until her final location and marks point e. point e, point a, and point c are collinear.

can kayla conclude that ∆abc and ∆edc are similar? why or why not?

suppose (de) ̅=125 ft. calculate the distance of (ab) ̅ to the nearest tenth of a foot. show your work. don’t forget to label your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, In the given diagram,

The sides of the triangles ABC and EDC are,

BC = 62 feet, DC = 93 feet and DE = 125 feet(given)

And, angles B and D are right angles,

⇒

   ( Vertically opposite angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

The sides of similar triangles are in same proportion ,

⇒  

⇒  

⇒  

By substituting the values,

We get,

⇒  

⇒  

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

x=half
