in the similar triangles used in indirect measurement with the shadow of a flagpole and a person, which sides of the triangles represent the rays of the sun?

AC =10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle ABC is a right angled triangle

side opposite to angle B is hypotenuse

so hypotenuse=AC

here AB and BC are other two smaller sides of a triangle.

so according to pythagoras theorem sum of square of two smaller sides of a triangle must equal to the square of hypotenuse.

Let AB=a , BC=b and AC=c(hypotenuse)

+ =

+ =

36 + 64 =

100=

=AC

10=AC
