Answer:
BE = 266 2/3
PE = 233 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>: The figure has 3 triangles, all similar. In order of shortest-to-longest side lengths, they are ...
ΔBPE ~ ΔBCG ~ ΔGRE
__
<u>Part B</u>: They can be declared similar by the AA postulate. For BPE and BCG, the angles at B are vertical angles, so are congruent. The angles at C and G are alternate interior angles, so are congruent.
For triangles BPE and GRE, angle E is congruent to itself, The angles at R and P are corresponding angles, so are congruent.
(Remember, GRPC is a parallelogram, so any line in the figure is a transversal crossing parallel lines.)

<u>Part C</u>:
From parts A and B, we know ΔBPE ~ ΔBCG. Corresponding sides are proportional:
BP/BC = BE/BG = PE/CG
200/300 = BE/400 = PE/350
BE = (400)(2/3) = 266 2/3
PE = (350)(2/3) = 233 1/3
Answer:
The answer is 1 foot and 5.75 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is more than 1 way to do this but the way i use is to go back to zero and move that amount of spaces to left if the original integer is positive or to the right if the original integer is a negative
Answer:
y = (3/8)x - 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Substitute -1.5 for b, 4 for x and 0 for y. Then: 0 = m(4) - 1.5, or
4m = 1.5, or
The slope is m = 1.5/4, or m = 0.375, or m = 3/8.
Note that the x-intercept can be treated just like any other point: (4, 0)
Then the desired equation is y = (3/8)x - 1.5
