Someone please help me

Answer 1

So, PR = 132.35 ft.

Explanation:

Let PR be x ft.

In traingles PRE and POC

<PRE=<POC (both r 90)

<RPE=<OPC(common angles)

<PER=<PCO(remaining angles)

trangle PRE and POC are similar by A.A.A axiom

now

RE/OC=PR/PO=PE/PC(corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional)

or, 180/350 = x/(x+125)=PE/PC

(PO= x+125)

Now

180/350=x/(x+125)

or, 180x+22500=350x

or, 22500= 170x

or, x = 22500/170

so, x = 132.352

so, x = 132.35
