For which of the following would similar triangles and trigonometry be useful for measuring? The length of a table. The width of a wide river. The length of a car. The width of the classroo

OpenStudy (ehall):

*the width of the classroom

OpenStudy (ehall):

please help

OpenStudy (ehall):

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

OpenStudy (3mar):

Nothing changes! I need to know what is the meaning of the question!!!!! ""would similar triangles and trigonometry be useful for measuring""??

OpenStudy (steve816):

The length of a table, the width of a classroom, and the length of a car can be easily measured without using trigonometry (could probably use a meter stick or measuring tape) because we can easily reach both ends the width of a wide river is a little different, it may not be practical to measure the distance across directly.

OpenStudy (ehall):

so that means

OpenStudy (steve816):

THe width of a wide river would be useful to measure using trig!

OpenStudy (ehall):

oh so therefore it is b

OpenStudy (steve816):

yup

OpenStudy (3mar):

That makes sense!
