Answer:
b=d+f+a^2
b/D+f=a^2
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Based on the AA similarity theorem, Gilligan can conclude that, ΔABC ~ ΔSDC.
b. To the nearest tenth of a foot, the distance from the ship to the shore is: 847.8 ft.
<h3>What are Similar Triangles?</h3>
The ratios of the corresponding sides of two triangles that are similar are equal.
Two triangles with two pairs of congruent angles are similar to each other based on the AA similarity theorem.
a. In ΔABC and ΔSDC, there are two pairs of congruent angles - ∠DCS ≅ ∠BCA (vertical angles) and ∠ABC ≅ ∠SDC (right angles)
Therefore, based on the AA similarity theorem, Gilligan can conclude that, ΔABC ~ ΔSDC.
b. AB = 150 ft
Distance from the ship to the shore = SD = ?
DC = 130 ft
CB = 23 ft
Thus:
AB/SD = CB/DC
Substitute
150/SD = 23/130
SD = (150×130)/23
SD = 847.8
Thus, to the nearest tenth of a foot, the distance from the ship to the shore is: 847.8 ft.

Answer: x/2 or 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
rise over run a/b
Answer:
yes you can.
Step-by-step explanation:
to answer the question asked you can solve a proportion when given two triangles, but in this one I feel somethings missing like its possibly a multiple choice.
I tried every way I could think of and got this 6.5 for the bottom A-B
and for x about 4.153311-
All you have to do for this is follow the midpoint formula.
Let me know if the picture is unclear and I'll type it out for you.
