1. Wendy wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 300 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 80 ft further and marks point D. She turns 90° and walks until her location, point A, and point C are collinear. She marks point E at this location, as shown. (a) Can Wendy conclude that ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar? Why or why not?
(b) Suppose DE = 50 ft. Calculate the width of the river, AB. Show all your work.

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84

step-by-step explanation:

if i'm not wrong, i would say that the third angle has (72) because the three sides of all triangles have 180 degrees and if we subtract 180 - 62 - 40 = (72) / but i'm not sure about 40 yd.

so mark-up is 0.4 multiplied by 180 = 72

the formula for converting absorbance to transmittance goes as:

a = log (1/t)  a = 2 - log(%t)  10^a = 1/t  t = 10^-a  %t = 100(10^-a)

so at the given value of a,   a = 1.5

%t = 100(10^-1.5)

%t = 3.16%
