EXAMPLE 1 Identify similar triangles Identify the similar triangles in the diagram. SOLUTION Sketch the three similar right triangles so that the corresponding angles and sides have the same orientation. TSU ~ RTU ~ RST

EXAMPLE 2 Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse Swimming Pool The diagram below shows a cross-section of a swimming pool. What is the maximum depth of the pool?

EXAMPLE 2 Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse STEP 1 Identify the similar triangles and sketch them. RST ~ RTM ~ TSM SOLUTION

EXAMPLE 2 Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse 64 h = Substitute. 165h = 64(152) Cross Products Property h 59 Solve for h. STEP 3 Read the diagram above. You can see that the maximum depth of the pool is h + 48, which is about = 107 inches. The maximum depth of the pool is about 107 inches. STEP 2 Find the value of h. Use the fact that RST ~ RTM to write a proportion. ST TM = SR TR Corresponding side lengths of similar triangles are in proportion.
