EXAMPLE 4 Find a height using indirect measurement Rock Climbing Wall To find the cost of installing a rock wall in your school gymnasium, you need to find the height of the gym wall. You use a cardboard square to line up the top and bottom of the gym wall. Your friend measures the vertical distance from the ground to your eye and the distance from you to the gym wall. Approximate the height of the gym wall.

EXAMPLE 4 Find a height using indirect measurement SOLUTION By Theorem 7.6, you know that 8.5 is the geometric mean of w and w = 5 Write a proportion. w 14.5 Solve for w. So, the height of the wall is 5 + w = 19.5 feet.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 3 and 4 3. In Example 3, which theorem did you use to solve for y ? Explain. Theroem 7.7 ; This was used to set the ratios of the hypotenuse of the large triangle to the shorter leg and the hypotenuse of the small triangle to the shorter leg equal to each other. ANSWER

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 3 and 4 4. Mary is 5.5 feet tall. How far from the wall in Example 4 would she have to stand in order to measure its height? ANSWER about 8.93 ft
