The geometry technique that Chee uses to find the height of the goalpost is the equal ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles.

Correct response:

  • The eight of the goalpost is approximately <u>16.91 meters</u>.

<h3>Methods used to calculate the height</h3>

The length Chee is using the mirror to measure = The height of her school's football goalpost

The distance of the mirror from the goalpost = 14.35 meters

The distance on the other side of the mirror Chee steps to =  1.4 meters

The distance from her eyes to the ground = 1.65 meters

Required:

How tall is the goalpost.

Solution:

By using similar triangles relationships, we have;

\dfrac{1.65}{1.4} = \mathbf{\dfrac{Height \ of \ the \ goalpost, h}{14.35} }

Which gives;

h = \dfrac{1.65}{1.4} \times 14.35 = 16.9125 \approx \mathbf{ 16.91}

  • The height of the goalpost, h ≈ <u>16.91 meters</u>

Find the total area for the regular pyramid.<br><br><br><br> T. A. =
Allisa [31]
The total area is:
 A = Ab + Al
 Where,
 Ab: base area
 Al: lateral area
 We have then:
 For the base area:
 Ab = (2) * (2)
 Ab = 4 units ^ 2
 For the lateral area:
 Al = (4) * (1/2) * (2) * (root ((1) ^ 2 + (3) ^ 2))
 Al = (4) * (root (1 + 9))
 Al = 4raiz (10) units ^ 2
 Total area:
 A = 4 + 4raiz (10)
 Answer:
 
A = 4 + 4raiz (10)
