To approximate the length of a lake, a surveyor starts at one end of the lake and walks 245 yards. He then turns 110 and walks 270 yards until he arrives at the other end of the lake. Approximately how long is the lake?

Surveying To approximate the length of a marsh, a surveyor walks 250 meters from point  to point  , then turns  and walks 220 meters to point  (see figure). Approximate the length  of the marsh.

hope it helped

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
