Answer:
Therefore the Distance across the Pond is
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Triangle are Similar
AB = 90 ft
AC = 170 ft
BD = 207 ft
DE = x
To Find:
x = ?
Solution:
In Δ ABC and Δ DBE
∠A ≅ ∠D …………..{ measure of each angle is 90° given }
∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE ……….....{Vertical Angle Theorem}
Δ ABC ~ Δ DBE ….{Angle-Angle Similarity test}
If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.
Substituting the values we get
Therefore the Distance across the Pond is
a.) The orientation of ABCD is clockwise, as is the orientation of A'B'C'D'. This means the transformation involves a even number of reflections (may be 0). The orientation of AB is North, and the orientation of A'B' is West, so a rotation of 90° CCW (or equivalent) is involved. We can find the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of AA' and BB' (at (-1, -1)) to determine a suitable center of rotation.
ABCD can be transformed to A'B'C'D' by ...
- rotation 90° CCW about the point (-1, -1)
b.) Rotation by 90° can also be accomplished by reflection across a diagonal line. Since we want the orientation to remain unchanged, we need another reflection to put the figure into its final position. A suitable alternate sequence for mapping ABCD to A'B'C'D' is ...
- reflection across the line y=x
- reflection across the line x=-1
