Points A and B are on the edge of a lake. A hiker wants to know the distance from point A to point B. The hiker determines lengths of segments of triangles in such a way that two similar triangles are created and known distances can be used to determine AB. The hiker paces distances as shown in the diagram, where x = 8, y = 17, and z = 7. Determine AB to the nearest tenth. AB = ft y ft B z ft x ft
