The drawing shows the rock height to be 64 ft.

The shadow lengths are proportional to the object heights, so we have
   (rock height)/(209.5 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(18 ft)
   (rock height) = (209.5 ft)*(5.5/18) ≈ 64.01 ft

The height of the rock from the ground is about 64 ft.

How can a sequence of transformations be used to justify whether two figures are congruent or similar?
Lena [83]

Answer:

A sequence of transformation can move two congruent figures to the same place (vertical / horizontal shifts). This causes them to perfectly overlap, proving their congruency.

A sequence of transformations can be used to show that something is similar, because if one were to transform a figure with only shrinks / stretches, one can shrink / stretch them to make them congruent. If only shrinks or stretches were done, and if the result of the transformation is congruent to the other figure, then the figures are similar (sides are proportional and shrinking/stretching them proves proportionality to other figure).

The average speed of a car is three times as fast as the average speed of a cyclist. to travel 225 km, the cyclist requires 5 h
Bumek [7]
Average speed of cyclist = x
average speed of car = 3x

x = 225/5
x = 45km/h

3x = 3(45)
3x = 135km/h

average speed of cyclist = 45km/h
average speed of car = 135km/h
