Ramon places a mirror on the ground 45 ft from the base of a geyser. He walks backwards until he can see the top of the geyser in the middle of the mirror. at that point, Ramon eyes are 6 ft above the ground and he is 7.5 ft from the mirror. Use similar triangles to find the geyser

Respuesta :

Answer:

36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

6/x=7.5/45

270=7.5x

x=36

In this exercise we have to have knowledge of triangles, so we can use the theory of similar triangles to find the value of X, like:

[tex]36 ft[/tex]

To use similar triangle theory, we have to make a rule of 3, that is:

[tex]6/x=7.5/45\\270=7.5x\\x=36[/tex]
