Answer:

11700

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar (presumably) because their ratios are the same for all three corresponding sides.

Equation

  • Set up the proportion
  • AB/AC = AD /AE

Givens

  • AB = 5600 feet
  • AD = 5200 feet
  • AC = 5600 + 7000 = 12600 feet
  • AD  = ?

Solution

  • 5600 / 12600 = 5200 / x                  Cross multiply
  • 5600x = 12600 * 5200                     Simplify the right.
  • 5600x = 65,520,000                        Divide by 5600
  • x = 65,520,000/5600                       Do the division
  • x = 11,700
