The architect's side view drawing of a saltbox-style house shows a post that supports the roof ridge. The support posts is 10 ft tall. How far from the front of the house is the support post positioned? This is a triangle and this is the way or sample on how to do it: Corallary 2=x ab/ac= ac/ad
Corollary 1=y ad/cd= cd/db I was trying this to do the corollary 2: factor x/25 = 25/25x
