I have no idea how to go about this question on my geometry homework! Can someone help me?

The two triangles shown are similar triangles. Numerically, the ratio computed by dividing the length of any side of tower triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the walking stick (similar) triangle will be the same value. Therefore, when the length of the tower shadow is divided by the length of the walking stick shadow, that ratio will be the exactly same as the tower height divided by the walking stick height. (length of tower shadow)/(length of walking stick shadow) = (tower's height)/(walking stick height) tower's height = {(length of tower shadow)/(length of walking stick shadow)}*(walking stick height)


What is the height limitation in relation to the base dimension on a scaffold tower?

How tall is the tower if the angles of elevation to the top and bottom of the tower on top of the cliff are 62.2 degrees and 59.5 degrees also from a point 250 m from the base of a vertical cliff?

Use the tangent ratio: 250*tan(62.2) = 474.1671924 250*tan(59.5) = 424.4157798 Subtracting one from the other is the height of the tower which is about 50 meters.


How do you solve this a tower is 1454 tall what is the height rounded to nearest hundred feet and how do you get the answer?

wouldn't the height be 1454?


What is the height of a tower when the distance between its angles of elevation are 32 degrees and 43 degrees is 8 meters?

A scale model of the Eiffel tower is 3 1 feet high The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the tower is 1 318 How tall is the tower in feet?

Man, you should do your homework by yourself, that ain't so difficult!Look:_We know that the scale model of the Eiffel tower is 3'1 feet high_The ratio is 1:318 which means that the real height of the tower as compared to the scale model is 318 times higher.Hence:The height of the tower = Scale model height x 318Height = 3'1 x 318Height = 985.8 feet

What is the height of a tower if its shadow is 500 feet long and a flag pole is 40 feet tall with a shadow 36 feet long?

The ratio of the height of the object to its shadow are the same for both objects. So, if H is the height of the tower, then H/500 = 40/36 therefore H = 500*40/36 = 555.55... feet.
