Answer:
- D. They are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached</em>
The points are plotted and connected to make triangles
As per the diagram, the triangles are similar, each side of ABC is reduced twice to make the corresponding sides of DEF, so the scale factor is 1/2.
<u>Correct choice is D</u>
- They are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation.
Answer:
25.61 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.
Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.
One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have
sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet
multiply both sides by 26 feet
sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite
= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches
