Explain why ∆RSV ~ ∆RTU and then find RT.
Prove triangles are similar.
It is given that S T. R R by Reflexive Property.
Therefore ∆RSV ~ ∆RTU by AA Similarity.

Josh wanted to measure the height of the Sears Tower in Chicago. He used a 12-foot light pole and measured its shadow at 1 P.M. The length of the shadow was 2 feet. Then he measured the length of the Sears Tower’s shadow and it was 242 feet at that time. What is the height of the Sears Tower?Since the sun’s rays form similar triangles,
the following proportion can be written.
The Sears Tower is 1452 feet tall. homeworkhomework

On her trip along the East coast, Jen stops to look at the tallest lighthouse in the U.S. located at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.At that particular time of day, Jen measures her shadow to be 1 feet 6 inches in length and the length of the shadow of the lighthouse to be 53 feet 6 inches. Jen knows that her height is 5 feet 6 inches. What is the height of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse to the nearest foot?
