invented, light entered an opening in the front. An
image was reflected in the back of the camera, SOLUTION:
upside down, forming similar triangles. Suppose the Since B is the midpoint of
image of the person on the back of the camera is 12
inches, the distance from the opening to the person is
7 feet, and the camera itself is 15 inches long. How
tall is the person being photographed?

65. BC = 6 – 4m, AC = 8, m = ?
SOLUTION:
Since B is the midpoint of
SOLUTION:
The height of the person being photographed is the
length of the base of the larger triangle. The two
triangles are similar. So, their corresponding sides will
be proportional. One foot is equivalent to 12 in. Then,
the height of the larger triangle is 7(12) = 84 in. Let x
66. AB = 10s + 2, AC = 40, s = ?
be the length of the base of the larger triangle.
SOLUTION:
Since B is the midpoint of

Therefore, the person being photographed is 5.6 ft

tall.

ALGEBRA Suppose B is the midpoint of .

Use the given information to find the missing
measure.
63. AB = 4x – 5, BC = 11 + 2x, AC = ?
SOLUTION:
Since B is the midpoint of

64. AB = 6y – 14, BC = 10 – 2y, AC = ?

SOLUTION:
Since B is the midpoint of
