(50 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.

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles  

Part B) The width of the river is about

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

so

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles  

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

substitute the values and solve for AB

answer: 7

step-by-step explanation: cause i checked it

the answer is c

hope this !
