Question

In the drawing below, label the distances given for the peak you chose

Answer 1

Answer: These two triangles are similar to each other.

Explanation:

Let AB represents the height of the peak, (where A is the top point ) CD represents height of Taylor and M represents the position of the mirror,

( Shown in the below diagram )

By the diagram,

`\angle ABM\cong \angle CDM` ( Right angles )

`\angle AMB\cong \angle CMD` ( By the given diagram )

Hence, by the AA similarity postulate,

`\triangle ABM \sim \triangle CDM`

⇒ Given two triangles are similar to each other.
