Answer

$$\text{G}$$

Work Step by Step

Recall: The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional. The two triangles are similar therefore their corresponding sides are propertional. Thus, \begin{align*} \frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}} &= \frac{\text{AC }}{\text{DF}}\\\\ \frac{6}{9} &=\frac{k}{6} \end{align*} Cross-multiply to obtain: \begin{align*} 9(k)&=6(6)\\ 9k&=36\\ \frac{9k}{9}&=\frac{36}{9}\\ k&=4 \end{align*} Hence, $k=4\text{ ft}$.
