Textbook Question
Chapter 14.6, Problem 7P
Explain and draw a picture to show how you could use the theory of similar tniangles to determine the height of a flagpole by looking into a mirror lying flat on the ground with its reflective side up. Indicate the similar triangles that would be involved and' explain why these triangles really must be similar. Say which measurements you will need to make, and show or describe briefly how you will use these measurements to determine the height of the pole. (You may either make up numbers for these measurements or use letters to stand for these numbers.)

A driver is traveling along a straight road when a buffalo runs into the street. This driver has a reaction time of 0.75 seconds. When the driver sees the buffalo he is traveling at 44 ft/s, his car can decelerate at 2 ft/s^2 when the brakes are applied. What is the stopping distance between when the driver first saw the buffalo, to when the car stops.
