PLEASE HELP!!!! POINTS^^^^^^

1.) Kayla wants to find the distance, AB, across a river. She walks along the edge of the river 75 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 100 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.

2.) Can Kayla conclude that ∆ABC and ∆EDC are similar? Why or why not?

3.) Suppose DE= 175 ft. What can Kayla conclude about AB? Explain. Don’t forget to label your answer.

1 - yes 100 and 75 are both collinear both are the same line.

2 - She can conclude that there both similar because the both go the same direction and both same shape.

3 - AB would equal 150 because the other one was 100 and the other angle was 25 down. So AB would equal 150.

Hope I helped
