Answer:

When two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles. The equal sides and angles may not be in the same position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there.

Answer:

The distance from your eyes to the stage is 8.85 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Your distance to the stage is 6 feet

Your eyes are 6.5 feet tall

You need to find the distance of your eyes towards the stage.

This situation can be modeled using a rectangle triangle, where the adjacent side x is the horizontal distance to the stage and the opposite side h is the vertical distance of your eyes to the stage.

Observe the attached image.

Then, we look for the distance z from your eyes to the stage. This distance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

So, using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

$z ^ 2 = h ^ 2 + x ^ 2\\\\z = \sqrt{h^2 +x^2}$
