What is the approximate height of the tower in meters?

1 answer:

7 0

Use similar triangles
distance of man from puddle = 0.5 m.
distance of puddle from tower = 13 - 0.5 = 12.5 meters
so we have 2 similar triangles
one has height 2 m and base 0.5 m and the other has height x m ( the tower) and base 12.5 m

Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so

2 / x = 0.5 / 12.5

0.5x = 2*12.5 = 25

x = 25 / 0.5 = 50 m

The tower is approx 50 m high.

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If a triangle has one side that is 8

julsineya [31]

Good afternoon,

First side= 8cm
Third side= x
Second side= 2x-4

We know that the sume of the lenghts of any two sides must be greater than the third side, so:

$Second \,\,\,\,side+Third\,\,\,\,side>First\,\,\,\,side \\ 2x-4 + x >8 \\ 3x>12 \\ x>4
$

<span>Answer: Third side= x ; where: x>4 or (4,+infinity)
Second side= 2x-4 ; </span><span> where: x>4 or (4,+infinity)</span>
