Question

Two ships are at located at points P and Q such that they are equidistant from the top ‘S’ of a vertical

lighthouse RS.

a. Are the two triangles ∆ PRS and ∆ QRS congruent to each other ? Support your answer with necessary

steps.

b. Are the ships equidistant from the bottom of the lighthouse? Justify.

c. If the height of the light house is 48m and the distance from the top of the lighthouse to the ship at P is

73m find the distance between the two ships?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)-as we know the total measure of a triangle is 360° if (Tri)-PRS is 180° the other angle will be 180° therefore they both congruent each other
