PLZ HELP The architects side view drawing of a saltbox-style house shows a post that supports the roof ridge. The support post is 12 ft tall. How far from the front of the house is the support post positioned?

The correct answer is D. x = 11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The two chords in the circle are intersecting with each other and are divided into two sub parts.

By Chord intersection theorem we have : If the two chords intersect with each other then the product of their corresponding sub parts is equal.

So, to find x :

⇒ 26 × 6 = x × 14

⇒ 14·x = 156

⇒ x = 11.1 units

Therefore, The correct answer is D. x = 11.1
