What is Similar Triangle?

Similar triangles are the triangles that have corresponding sides in proportion to each other and corresponding angles equal to each other.

Here, mark the park as A, Home as B, Library as C and field as D.

  Now, CD = 18 miles

            BC = 4 miles

we have to find AC (distance between library and park)

   BD = BC + CD = 18 + 4 = 22 miles

 Using property of similar triangles,

        AD² = BD X CD

         AD² = 22 X 18

         AD = √22 X √18

         AD = 6√11 miles

By Pythagoras theorem,

         AD² = AC² + CD²

        396 = AC² + 324

         AC² = 396 - 324

         AC² = 72

           AC = √72

           AC = 6√2 miles

Thus, the distance between library and park is 6√2 miles and the distance between park and field is 6√11 miles.
