Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
Answer:
O A.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Option A</u> identifies two angles (sufficient for similarity) and one side, sufficient (with similarity) for congruence. The applicable congruence theorem is AAS.
<u>Option B</u> identifies two sides and the angle not between them. The two triangles will be congruent in that case only if the angle is opposite the longest side, which is <u>not true</u> in general.
<u>Option C</u> same deal as Option A.
<u>Option D</u> identifies three congruent angles, which will prove the triangles similar, but not necessarily congruent.
