Answer 1

Answer:

X is 10 feet far from A

Explanation:

if we plot the diagram then the diagram seem to be a combination of a rectangle and right angle triangle

let the right angle triangle be ∆ADE and right angle at D

AD=6feet (P)

DE=8feet (B)

AE=? (H)

by Pythagoras theorem

H^2=P^2+B^2

AE=√{6^2+8^2}

AE=√{36+64}

AE=√100

AE=10feet

Answer 2

Answer:

10 feet ......................
