Question

Pls help with number 18 AC is 250 ft XZ is is 15 ft. XY is 5.8 ft

Answer 1

we are asked to determine the value of "h" given that there are two similar right triangles.

To do that we use the fact that similar triangles are at the same ratio with each other.

Therefore, we have the following relationship:

`(AB)/(XY)=(AC)/(XZ)`

Now, we plug in the values:

`(h)/(5.8)=(250)/(15)`

Now, we multiply both sides:

`h=(250)/(15)(5.8)`

Solving the operation:

`h=9.7`

Therefore, the value of "h" is 9.7 ft.
