Given the two triangles are similar below, Mr. Stickman measures the following lengths below, but he can't reach the flagpole. What is the height? 168 CM 114 cm 570 cm X= cm

Answer:

Explanation:

The two triangles are similar, meaning the ratio of the sides is the same for both:

[tex]\frac{168}{114}=\frac{x}{570}[/tex]

cross multiplication gives

[tex]\mleft(168\mright)\mleft(570\mright)=114x[/tex]

dividing both sides by 114 gives

[tex]x=840\operatorname{cm}\text{.}[/tex]

which is our answer!
