Answer:

  • C. Change the length to side CB to 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles should have same ratio:

  • PR/AC = PQ/AB = RQ/CB
  • 7.5/6 = 5/4 = 10/CB
  • 10/CB = 1.25
  • CB = 10/1.25
  • CB = 8 feet

Correct choice is C

Answer: b

Step-by-step explanation: Cause of the way it is made, it would be 8.5 ft for the bottom.
