To explain: A real-world example that can be solved by indirect measurement method.
Answer to Problem 18HP
Indirect measurement in real-world can be used to find the length of the tall pole by similarity of triangles.
Explanation of Solution
The method to use proportions to find the missing measurement in similar figures is known as indirect measurement method.
Suppose a person wants to find the height of a pole that casts a shadow of 140 ft. At that same time a person of height 5 ft casts a shadow of 4.5 ft on the ground. Then the indirect measurement method can be used to find the height of the pole as both figures are similar triangles.
Therefore, in real-world Indirect measurement can be used to find the length of the tall pole by similarity of triangles.
