Answer:
Therefore,
The height is 23.3 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ
AC = 108.5 ft
BC = h
XZ = 14 ft
YZ = 3ft
To Find:
h = ?
Solution:
Δ ABC ~ Δ XYZ….Given
If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.
[tex]\dfrac{AB}{XY} =\dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{AC}{XZ} \textrm{corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion}\\[/tex]
Substituting the values we get
[tex]\dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{AC}{XZ}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{h}{3}=\dfrac{108.5}{14}\\\\h=\dfrac{325.5}{14}=23.25=23.3[/tex](nearest tenth)
Therefore,
The height is 23.3 ft.
