A tunnel must be made through a hill. As a result, a surveyor and an engineer create a sketch of the area. The sketch, displayed below, includes information they have either researched or measured. They need to build a tunnel from the point E to the point H on the sketch. Calculate the distance from E to H. When similar triangles are used, explain how you know they represent similar triangles before performing the calculation.

498 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The AAA theorem states that triangles are similar if all three corresponding angles are equal.

1. Compare triangles FHS and ILS

(a) Reason for similarity

∠F = ∠I = 90°

∠S is common.

∴ ∠H = ∠L

(b) Calculate SL

2. Compare triangles ILS and GLE

(a) Reason for similarity

∠I = ∠G = 90°

∠L is common.

∴ ∠S = ∠E

(b) Calculate LE

3. Calculate EH

               LE + EH + HS = LS

304.0 m + EH + 380 m = 1182 m

                  EH + 684 m = 1182 m

                                 EH = 498 m

The distance from E to H is 498 m.

answer: 8 years

step-by-step explanation:

the explanation is that in 8 years the child will be 20 and in 8 years the father will be 40 and 20 is half of 40.
