Answer: as a ratio it’s 140:210 and as a simplified fraction it’s 2/3. But not simplified it’s still 140/210
Step-by-step explanation:
So:
(x-4)(x+2) / (x-4)(x+4)
We cancel out the x - 4:
(x+2)/(x+4)
Restrictions: x ≠ 4, x ≠ -4
If we have two similar triangles:
Triangle 1 (base 1 , height1).
Triangle 2 (base 2, height 2)
Then:
base 1 /height 1=base 2 /height 2
Data:
base 1=0.2 m
height 1= 1 m
base 2= 8 m
height 2=x
We calculate the height of the tower:
base 1 /height 1=base 2 /height 2
0.2 m / 1m=8 m / x
x=(8 m * 1 m) / 0.2 m
x=8 m²/0.2 m
x=40 m
Answer. the heigth of the tower will 40 m
