Satisfactory Essays

The height is 16 feet because since the triangles are similar by AA similarity. With that being said, you have to set up the triangles proportionally, so you have 5 over 20 is equal to 4 over x, then you solve for x. 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of the second triangle. So you have 20/5=x/ then cross multiply. Once you cross multiply u get 5x = 80, then solve it to the height. That is how you get 16 feet for the height
