The distance across the lake will be 255 meters. Then the correct option is B.
What is the triangle?
A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.
If the two triangles are similar, the ratio of the corresponding sides will be constant.
In an isosceles triangle, two angles and their opposite sides are equal.
The dimensions of the first triangle are L, 85, and y. And the dimensions of the second triangle are 60, 20, and x.
It is given that the triangles are similar.
Then the ratio of their corresponding sides will be
L / 60 = 85 / 20 = x / y
From first two terms, then the equation will be
L / 60 = 85 / 20
L / 60 = 4.25
L = 4.25 x 60
L = 255 m
The distance across the lake will be 255 meters.
Then the correct option is B.
