Oncologist use similar triangles in radiation treatment. In order to avoid creating "hot spots" on a patient's spinal cord, doctors must determine where the radiation rays will hit.The known distance from the ray to the patients back is 100 cm. The known base of the ray is 15cm. The known distance from the back to the spinal cord is 5 cm. How far apart should the doctor place the rays so they do not hit the same spot on the spinal cord?
