Hey,
Check out these questions.
1. The point P lies within the angle ABC and is equidistant from AB and BC. Prove that PB bisects the ∠ABC.
If point P is always equidistant from AB and BC, does that mean AB and BC are the same length? If so, that would produce congruent triangles correct?
2. A fence post 4.5 m high casts a shadow of 2.75 m. At the same time a nearby lamp post cast a shadow 13.75 m in length. Find the height of the lamp post.
I need help getting started on this one, I think it has something to do with similar triangles.
Thanks in advance.
