The geometry technique that Chee uses to find the height of the goalpost is the equal ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles.
Correct response:
- The eight of the goalpost is approximately <u>16.91 meters</u>.
The length Chee is using the mirror to measure = The height of her school's football goalpost
The distance of the mirror from the goalpost = 14.35 meters
The distance on the other side of the mirror Chee steps to = 1.4 meters
The distance from her eyes to the ground = 1.65 meters
Required:
How tall is the goalpost.
Solution:
By using similar triangles relationships, we have;
Which gives;
- The height of the goalpost, h ≈ <u>16.91 meters</u>

Answer:
3.) 0.894
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️First, find BD using Pythagorean Theorem:
BD² = BC² - DC²
BC = 17.89
DC = 16
Plug in the values
BD² = 17.89² - 16²
BD² = 64.0521
BD = √64.0521
BD = 8.0 (nearest tenth)
✔️Next, find AD using the right triangle altitude theorem:
BD = √(AD*DC)
Plug in the values into the equation
8 = √(AD*16)
Square both sides
8² = AD*16
64 = AD*16
Divide both sides by 16
4 = AD
AD = 4
✔️Find AB using Pythagorean Theorem:
AB = √(BD² + AD²)
AB = √(8² + 4²)
AB = √(64 + 16)
AB = √(80)
AB = 8.9 (nearest tenth)
✔️Find sin x using trigonometric ratio formula:
Reference angle = x
Opposite side = BD = 8
Hypotenuse = AB = 8.944
Thus:
