(A) Find the approximate length of the plank. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Given that the distance of the ground is 3ft.
In order to get the length of the plank,
we can use the this one.

cos 49 = ground / plank
cos 49 = 3 / plank
plank = cos 49 / 3
plank = 0.10 ft

(b) Find the height above the ground where the plank touches the wall. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

The remaining angle is equal to
angle = 180 - (90+49)
angle = 41

Finding the height.
tan 41 = height / ground
tan 41 = height / 3
height = tan 41 / 3
height = 0.05 ft.

(A) 0.10 feet
(B) 0.05 feet

Can you prove this congruent? Using what theorem/postulate?

I'd say that, if the angles S and U are equal, as the SV and UV segments move towards each other, they meet at vertex V, the angles they make, angle SVT and UVT, have to be equal, because the side TV is shared by both, and has the same direction.

now, side TV is on both triangles, and is shared by both, so is the same length, so TV on one triangle is equal to TV on the other

check the picture below

so, you have one Angle, another Angle, and then a Side
