Question

Help please I’m confused

Answer 1

h = 5.4

Explanation:

Basically these are 2 similar triangles. That means:

Corresponding sides are proportional.

We can set up a ratio of each triangle separately and equate, cross multiply and solve for "h".

h corresponds to 2.4

2.9 corresponds to 1.3

Setting up the ratio and solving for h:

`(h)/(2.4)=(2.9)/(1.3)\\1.3h=2.4*2.9\\1.3h=6.96\\h=(6.96)/(1.3)\\h=5.35`

Rounded to 1 decimal place,

h = 5.4
