Katrina lives on the corner of maple and first. her school is on the corner of oak and second. the distance on first from maple to oak is 300 ft. if she uses a calculated angle of 30° to walk a diagonal route through the park instead of the streets, how much shorter is her walk to school? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
