Answer:
250 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems that you are learning the side-splitter theorem right now. If a line is parallel to one side of the triangle and intersects the other two sides, it divides the side proportionally. From the picture we can tell that the streets are parallel, with a line of intersection. Therefore, we can create the following equation of proportionality:
Now that we have this equation, we can use the <u>butterfly method</u> to solve for x. We <u>cross multiply</u>:
Now, all we have to do is <u>isolate</u> the variable to find x:
Therefore, the distance of Orange Ave between the 3rd St. and 4th St. is 250 ft.
