Answer:
175 ft
Explanation:
From the question,
(a) ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar because all the angles in ΔABC is equal to the corresponding angles in ΔEDC.
I.e, ΔABC is equiangular to ΔEDC. (AAA).
(b) From the diagram.
for similar angle, ratio of corresponding sides are equal
100/d = 4x/7x
100/d = 4/7
where d = distance across the river
solve for d
d = (100×7)/4
d = 175 ft
