You can indeed use similar triangles to get a side of another similar triangle.

let's say Edwardo stood next to the building and his shadow was 20ft, he's 4ft tall, and the building cast a shadow of 125ft, then, check the picture below.

What’s the equation of the blue line??
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

y = -1/2 + 2 (Slope intercept)

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercept is when the x-value is 0.

So the y-intercept is (0, 2)

To find slope, find two random points:

(0, 2) , (2, 1)

Slope (m) =ΔY/ΔX  = -1/2 =  -0.5

Equation of the line:

y = -0.5x + 2

or

y = -1/2 + 2

When x=0, y = 2

When y=0, x = 4

What is the value of x?
blsea [12.9K]
Since these are supplementary angles  (two angles which sum to 180°) we can say:

4x+x=180  combine like terms on left side

5x=180  divide both sides by 5

x=36°
