Answer:

2.7 m

Explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. This figure shows similar triangles ∆ABC ~ ∆ADE.

__

The proportion that can be used to find h = DE is ...

DE/BC = DA/BA

h/(0.9 m) = (12 m+6 m)/(6 m) . . . . . filling in the values given

h = (0.9 m)(18/6) . . . . . multiply by 0.9 m

h = 2.7 m

The value of "h" is 2.7 m.
