This video tutorial teaches how to find an indirect measure using similarity criteria. It begins with an introduction to the angle-angle postulate of similarity and proceeds to demonstrate an experiment using a mirror to measure the height of a school. The process involves setting up the mirror, measuring distances, and analyzing the similarity of triangles. By setting up a proportion based on the similarity of triangles, the height of the school is calculated to be 600 centimeters or 6 meters.
