There is a way to estimate the height of a tree without having to climb it with a tape measure. Instead, place a
mirror on the ground and stand where you can see the reflection of the top of the tree in the mirror.
1: Use this example to demonstrate:
Points M and G are labeled and represent the Mirror and the point where the tree touches the ground.
a: Label points: T at the top of the tree, E at the person’s eye level, and F at the person’s feet
b: Explain how you can create two similar triangles using the AA similarity postulate. You can sketch the triangles
separately if you would like (hint: if the person and tree stand up straight, they form 90-degree angles at the
ground):
c: If EF = 60 inches, FM = 80 inches, and MG = 200 inches, how tall is the tree? Show all work:

Cor d? ? me ? max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
