Kweku walked 8m up to slope and was 3m above the ground. If he walks 12m further up the slope, how far above the ground will he be?
-
A.
4.5m
-
B.
6.0m
-
C.
7.5m
-
D.
9.0m
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
By similar triangles, \(\frac{8}{3}\) = \(\frac{8 + 12}{h}\)
\(\frac{8}{3} = \frac{20}{h}\)
h = \(\frac{3 \times 20}{8}\)
= 7.5m
