By using the known relations for similar triangles, we will see that the height of the basketball hoop is H = 113 ft.
<h3>
How to find the height of the basketball hoop?</h3>
In this situation, you and your shadow make a similar triangle to the one that makes the basketball hoop and its shadow.
This would mean that the quotients between the sides must be the same, so:
The <em>quotient between your height and your shadow's length must be the same as the quotient between the hoop's height and its shadow's length.</em>
- Your height is 68 in
- Your shadow is 62 in long.
You are at 41 in from the pole, and your shadow coincides with the shadow of the pole, so the length of the pole's shadow is:
41in + 62in = 103 in
And we define H as the height of the basketball hoop.
So we have that:
H/103in = 68in/62in
H = (68in/62in)*103in = 112.97 in
Rounding to the nearest foot, the height is 113ft.

1.The isosceles triangle has sides of length 14, y, y
2. According to the "triangle inequality" :
y+y>14
2y>14
y>14/2=7
(y is greater than 7)
3. Remark, check the figures:
the side lengths cannot be less than (neither equal to 7), because we cannot get a triangle in that case, check picture 2
In picture 1 wee see that the side lengths can be as large as we want. We can erect an altitude, as high as we want. Pick a point on the altitude, and join it to the endpoints of the base, and we get an isosceles triangle with base equal to 14.
