Answer:
20
Hope that helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
distance = 500 feet
Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
= 
completing the required values gives
= 
( cross- multiply )
60l = 30 × 100 = 3000 ( divide both sides by 60 )
l = 500
distance across the swamp is 500 feet
Let's get the data out of the problem:
Nv = 18
Ov = 12
Now, we can apply in this equation that relates the new and the old values:
i = Nv / Ov
i = 18 / 12
i = 1.5
Now, we just consider what has passed from 1, and this is 0.5, converting to percentage it is:
p = 0.5 . 100
p = 50%
The increase was 50%.
