AA Theorem: To show two triangles are similar, it is sufficient to show that two angles of one triangle are congruent (equal) to two angles of the other triangle. All three triangles have a right angle and they all share the common angle at point S.
Flagpole is 32 meters from point S: so 1.5/8 = x/32 where x is FG
cross-multiply: 32 • 1.5 = 8x
48 = 8x
x = 6 meters
building is a total of 240 meters from point S, so: 1.5/8 = x / 240 where x is BD
cross-multiply: 240 • 1.5 = 8x
360 = 8x
<span>x = 45 meters</span>
So to add fractions they need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 24. then multiply 1 by 4 and 5 by 3 because whatever you multiply the denominator by you need to do the same to the numerator, which will get you 4/24+15/24 then you add across the numerators and you get 19/24
1.87 is 8.5% of 22 so 8.5% of 80 is 0.085 x 80 so $6.80
