Answer:
Proved
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: EC || AC, DB || AC, ∠A = ∠F
Prove: ΔMDF ∼ ΔNCA
Solution
See diagram attached to the solution to better understand the following workings.
Redrawing ΔMDF or rotating to be facing the same direction.
EC is parallel to AC
DB parallel to AC
Using similar triangle theorem:
If ΔMDF ∼ ΔNCA
Ratio of Corresponding sides would be equal
(adjacent of ΔMDF)/(adjacent of ΔNCA) = (Opposite of ΔMDF)/(opposite of ΔNCA) = (hypotenuse of ΔMDF)/(hypotenuse of ΔNCA)
DF/ CA = MD/NC = FM/AN
∠A = ∠F
∠M = ∠N
∠D = ∠C
Since the ratio of Corresponding sides and angle are equal, ΔMDF is similar to ΔNCA.
ΔMDF ∼ ΔNCA
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The engineer can use a clinometer to measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tree. Let the height of the tree be represented by x, the she could determine the distance across the river, d, by applying the trigonometric function.
Tan θ =
=
the the distance, d = x ÷ Tan θ
Assume the angle of elevation of the top of the tree is , and the height of the tree is 10 m, then the distance, d, across the river would be;
d =
= 17.3190
d = 17.32 m
The sketch to the explanation is attached to this answer for more clarification.
