Question

HELPPP I need to choose the correct option AND find X?!!!!

Answer 1

Part 1

E. There is a pair of congruent angles and a pair of congruent right triangles, so the triangles are similar by the AA
`\sim` postulate.

Part 2

Note that 4 ft 6 in = 4.5 ft. Using the fact that corresponding sides of similar triangles have proportional side lengths,

`(x)/(14)=(4.5)/(4) \implies \boxed{x=15.75 \text{ ft}}`
