Two triangular roofs are similar. the corresponding sides of these roofs are 16 feet and 24 feet. if the altitude of the smaller roof is 6 feet, find the corresponding altitude of the larger roo
Using the concept of proportionality we shall solve for the unknown altitude as follows: let the measure of the altitude be x: 24/16=x/6 solving for x we get: x=24/16*6 x=9 feet Answer: 9 feet
