Answer:
899 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
if point a is 400 feet from the base and 499 feet away from the top you would need to add 400+499 together to get 899
(2,3)??? Maybe? I really don’t know
From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.
There are 714 boys in that school, you can cross multiply and divide to find the answer, if you wanna check. The way I wrote it was x (boys) / 1309 = 6/11.
