Question

Solve for h in the figure below

Answer 1

Answer:

b. $\frac{2}{3} \: ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle ABE\sim \triangle CDE$

(AA postulate)

$\therefore \frac{AB}{CD} =\frac{BE}{DE}$

$\therefore \frac{2}{h} =\frac{24}{8}$

$\therefore \frac{2}{h} =3$

$\therefore h= \frac{2}{3} \: ft$
