Answer:

[tex]AC=250\ m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles DCA and DFE are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

Remember that

if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding ides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent.

so

[tex]\frac{AC}{FE}=\frac{125}{10}[/tex]

[tex]AC=\frac{125}{10}(FE)[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]AC=\frac{125}{10}(20)[/tex]

[tex]AC=250\ m[/tex]
