Answer:

The distance from A to C is 12600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles to help us solve the problem.

5600 ft          AC

-------------  = --------------

5200 ft          5200 + 6500


5600 ft          AC

-------------  = --------------

5200 ft          11700

We can solve using cross products

11700* 5600 = AC *5200

65520000=5200 AC

Divide each side 5200

65520000/5200 = AC

12600 =AC

Answer:

12600
