Multiply 3 and 8 then you will have your answer
Answer: The ΔVZX and ΔWXZ are not congruent by SAS.
Explanation:
It is given that the VX = WZ = 40 cm and ∠ZVX = ∠XWZ = 22°.
Draw a figure as shown below,
According to the SAS rule of congruence, two triangles are congruent if two sides and their inclined angle is equal.
From the given figure it is easily noticed that in ΔVZX and ΔWXZ,
(given)
(given)
(common side)
Since we have two sides and one angle is same. but we can not conclude that the ΔVZX and ΔWXZ are congruent by SAS, because the given angle is not the inclined angle of both equal sides.
Therefore, the ΔVZX and ΔWXZ are not congruent by SAS.
We need to solve for the height of the tree given two angles and distance between the two observers. See attached drawing for a better understanding of the problem.
We derive to equations using SOH CAH TOA such as below:
sin30 = h / x
sin 45 = h / (100-x)
sin 45 (100-x) = xsin30
70.71 - 0.71x = 0.5x
70.71 = 1.21 x
x = 58.44
Solving for h, we have:
h = xsin30
h = 58.44 sin30
h = 29.22
The height of the tree is 29.22 feet.
