The solution of the statement of indirect proof.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Given:
Prove:
Calculation:
In an indirect proof or proof by contradiction, assume that the conclusion is false. By showing the assumption to be logically impossible, prove the assumption is false and the original conclusion is true. For this problem, assume that
Given:

- The three right triangles below are similar. The acute angles LL, LR, and ZZ are all approximately measured to be 66.9°. The side lengths for each triangle are as follows. Note that the triangles are not drawn to scale.

Her helicopter took off from the skydiving center, ascending in an angle of 37°, and traveled a distance of 2.1 kilometers before she fell in a straight line perpendicular to the ground. How far from the skydiving center did Stella land? Be sure to have all three parts of a CER answer: make a claim, provide evidence, and explain your reasoning for full credit. 2.1 km Landing spot 37% Skydiving centerarrow_forward
