This problem can be solved using triangle similarities:
Consider the Pythagorean Theorem with the formula; c^2=a^2+b^2
let: a=height from base to point
b1=base of the first triangle formed
b2-base of the second triangle formed
c1=c2= hypotenuse of the two triangles,
note:
they have equal hypotenuse and share the same height, thus a1=a2
sqrt[(a^2+(7x)^2)]=sqrt[a^2+(6x+12)^2]
sqrt(49x^2) =sqrt[(6x+12)^2]
7x=6x+12
x=12
GE=7x+6x+12
GE=7(12)+6(12)+12
GE= 168 feet
Thus, the answer is:
C.168 feet
