We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as

h1/s1 = h2/s2

where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree

Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.

PLEASE HELP ASAPPP !! Instructions: State what additional information is required in order to know that the triangles are congru
Svetllana [295]
<h3>Answer: angle T = angle W</h3>

Explanation:

We are given the sides are congruent due to the tickmarks. Specifically

TU = WV (single tickmarks)

TV = WX (double tickmarks)

So we just need the "A" of "SAS". The A is between the two S letters, so the angle is between the two sides. For triangle TUV, the angle T is between the two sides with the tickmarks. Similarly, angle W is between the tickmarked sides of triangle WVX.

If we know that angle T = angle W, then we have enough information to use SAS.
