At the bank of a river, by measurement, a = 18 ft. b = 30 ft. c = 24 ft. d = 14 ft. How long is x?

11.2 ft.

18.7 ft.

40.0 ft.

since you did not give the picture of the problems so it is difficult to solve the problem. but i think this problem is about similar triangles, similar triangle are triangles that have corresponding angles are congruent and their sides are in proportion.
( x / 24) = 30 /18
x = 24 ( 30 / 18 )
x = 40 ft
