2. A vacant lot shaped like a triangle is between two streets that intersect in an angle that measures 85 degrees The longest side, which is 140 feet long, is opposite that angle. Determine the length of the shortest side
if the angle opposite that side measures 28°

ou would have 12 of each

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
