CASE BASED QUESTION (TRIANGLE 20/08/2025)

Q.1. Ram is a student of class X, One day his math teacher gave an activity to measure the
height of the building. Ram accepted the challenge and places a mirror on ground level to
determine the height of building .He is standing at a certain distance so that he can see the
top of the building reflected from mirror. Ram’s eye level is at 1.8m above the ground. The
distance of Ram from the mirror and that of building from mirror are 1.5m and 2.5m
respectively.

Based on the above information, answer the questions:

(i) Name the triangles which are similar and also mentioned which criterion of similarity is
applied here?

(ii) Calculate the height of the building?

(iii) If ∆ ABM and ∆CDA are similar where CD = 6cm, MD= 8 cm and BM = 24cm, then
determine the length of AB
