Find the value of the height, h m, in the following diagram at which the tennis ball must be hit so that it will just pass over the net and land 5 meters away from the base of the net. Round to the nearest hundredth.
A. 4 m B. 6 m C. 5 m D. 7 m
use similar triangle property 2/5=h/15 h=15
what do i do for that ?
i dnt get wht u wanna say?
like what do i do to get my answer ?
as angle(Q) is same then there tanQ ia also same =>tan(Q)= 2/5 for small triangle and =h/(5+10) so equate them
@alainabbyboo22 like thes u can do
i don't understand ..
):
first tell me which lesson ur studing
the lesson is Similar Triangles
k then there are 2 triangles in diagram small and big both are similar by angle angle angle( aaa) similarity so sidea are in ratio
i posted the picture that goes with this .
i saw it just name the vertices and then post the image then i will tell u
i really don't understand what i have to do . divide ? multiply numbers ?
just look at problem ones seperate two triangles whish u can see then apply AA similarity one angle in common one 90 .... thus both are similar....then take ratio of there bases
try it i will tak u tmmrw
