Answer:
4/15
Step-by-step explanation:
4/10*6/9
2/5*2/3
4/15
There are several conditions where triangles can be proved similar:
AA - where two of the angles are same.
SAS - where two sides of a triangle compare to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal.
SSS - Where all sides in a triangle and the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.
In the case above, we can only use the method of SAS, as only two sides of the triangles are given.
<HMG = <JMK (vertically opposite angles)
HM/MK = 8/12 = 2/3
GM/MJ = 6/9 = 2/3
As the two sides of a triangle comparing to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal, the above triangles are similar, with the prove of SAS.
Therefore, the answer is C.yes by SAS.

The point of observation is 2500 m away from the foot of the building.
The angle of elevation is 4°.
We need to find the height 'h' of the building.
With respect to 4°,
2500 is the adjacent side.
'h' is the opposite side.
The trigonometric ratio associating opposite & adjacent is tan.
We have
Cross multiplying we get
h = 2500 tan4°
h= 174.82 m
Option B) is the right answer.
