QuestionC A B A new bridge structure requires triangles that are in a ratio of 1:1. If AC = 4x-3 and EC = 2x + 6, find the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet. O 4.5 ft 15 ft 18 ft O 30 ft

Studdy Solution
Substitute the value of $x$ back into either expression to find the distance. Using AC:
$$AC = 4x - 3$$ $$AC = 4(4.5) - 3$$ $$AC = 18 - 3$$ $$AC = 15$$
Therefore, the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is 15 feet.
The distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is:
$$\boxed{15 \text{ ft}}$$
