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>
