Find the length of the missing side. Use properties of similar triangles. a= 5/3, b= 1/5, d= 20/3, e=?

answer: an 8-foot rope is tied from the top of a pole to a

stake in the ground, as shown in the diagram

below

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft
