Which segment of the triangle will give you the height of your peak? Write the equation for the proportion that will allow you t
o find the height. (2 points: 1 point for identifying the correct segment, 1 point for the correct equation)
1 answer:
The segment that will give the height of the peak is the segment that is located from the right angle to the peak.
To find the height, we can use the fact that we have two similar triangles.
We are going to define a variable.
We have:
x: height of the peak.
For similar triangles, we have the following relationship:
From here, we clear the height of the peak

Inequality with OR: We use OR when you have two or more cases that could or not happen at the same time, for example with inequalities when you have an OR you use the union of the sets given by the inequalities. for example if we have the following two inequalities
it will represent the union of the set of numbers that are greater than one with the set of the numbers that are less than zero.
Inequality with AND: We use AND when you need that all the conditions holds at the same time (here is not accepted that only one holds) for example with inequalities when you have AND you need to use the intersection of the sets given by the inequalities. For example:
will represent the intersection of the set of number that are greater than two and less than ten AT THE SAME TIME
