Question
- find $d$, the distance across the lake.
225 ft
90 ft
75 ft
Step1: Identify similar triangles
The two triangles are similar by AA similarity (right angles and shared angle).
Step2: Set up proportion
$\frac{d}{90} = \frac{75}{225}$
Step3: Simplify and solve for d
First simplify $\frac{75}{225} = \frac{1}{3}$, then $d = 90 \times \frac{1}{3}$
