HELP NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!!!!!1
PICTURE BELOW

Answer 1

hint : similar triangles

Answer 2

Both right angle?

Answer 3

yep!

Answer 4

call the required base x

Answer 5

use this proportion :

ratio of bases = ratio of heights

Answer 6

Let 'x' be the base and 'm' be the angle of inclination, thus tan (m) = 0.5/1 =4/x. When you simplify the expression you will get x = 8.

Answer 7

thats one method,

alternative here :

ratio of bases = ratio of heights


\(\huge \frac{base1}{base2} \ = \frac{height1}{height2}\)

=>

\(\huge \frac{x}{1} = \frac{4}{0.5}\)

you can solve for x !

Answer 8

Thank you very much!!!! you all helped a heap!!!!!
