Question

Miranda hiked to the top of a waterfall. She wanted to know the waterfall's height, but she was unable to measure it. Miranda created a proportion using the information from triangles PQS and TRS to calculate the height of the waterfall.


How tall is the waterfall? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)

Answer 1

can some one help me out with this please!!!

Answer 2

you have to post the numbers

Answer 3

or a picture

Answer 4

ok hold on

Answer 5

there it goes

Answer 6

you got it

Answer 7

here wait almost

Answer 8

okay thanks

Answer 9

The height is approximately 743 .

Answer 10

The triangles are similar since they have the same angle. So , just set up a proportion using information from the 2 triangles.

Answer 11

We have the hypotenuse of both triangles. The larger one is 986 and the smaller one inside it is just 730 . so since they are similar use a proportion. 986/730. it = 1.35 which is how much of a factor the bigger triangle is from the smaller one

Answer 12

So now all you have to do is take the multiplier (1.35) and multiply it by all the sides of the smaller yet similar triangle. And you can verify your answer using the Pythagorean theorem.
