Apole-vaulter uses a 15-foot-long pile. she grips the pole so that the segment below her left hand is twice the length of the segment above her left hand. her right hand grips the pole 1.5 above her left hand. how far up the pole is her right hand?

answer: 59

step-by-step explanation:

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
