Jarvis needs to determine the distance across a lake. However, he can't measure this distance directly over the water. So, he set up a situation where he could use the measurements of two similar triangles to find the distance across the lake.

He selects a point X such that XZ is perpendicular to VZ, where V is a point at the other end of the lake. He then picks a point Y on XZ. From point Y, he finds point W on XV such that WY is parallel to VZ.

If XY = 1,952 feet, WY = 976 feet, and XZ = 5,856 feet, what is the length of VZ, the distance across the lake?

A.

2,928 feet

B.

3,904 feet

C.

244 feet

D.

325 feet
