Using Similar Triangles YOU CAN DO IT! Using Similar Triangles

Draw a picture and label its parts Mary wanted to know the height of her apartment building. It was a sunny day, so she decided to measure the shadow of the building and got 60 ft. At the same time, she also measured the height of a stop sign at 15 ft and its shadow to be 12 ft. How tall is the building?

Draw a picture and label its parts We are inside the gym and want to know how high it is to the top of the hornet on the wall. We measure the distance from the mirror to the wall as 110ft, the distance from the mirror to my feet as 40ft, and the distance from my feet to my eyes as 5.75 ft. How high up is the top of the hornet?

Draw a picture and label its parts How many triangles do you see? If more than one, are they similar? What is the length of line segment FH? F AD is 5 in AB is 3 in BD is 4 in HD is 12 in A H D B
