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>
Answer:
the domain is 0 x 45 and the range is 0 h 360. The slope is -8, so the change in the height of the ballon is -8 feet per second. The h-intercept is 360, so the height of the ballon when the first noticed it was 360 feet. The x-intercept is 45, so the time it took the hot air balloon to reach the ground was 45 seconds.
