Question

Given the diagram below, what is the length of segment EF

Answer 1

Let x = length of segment EF.

Assume that
(a) line segments AD,  EF, and BC are parallel, and
(b) the vertical distance between AD and EF is equal to the vertical distance between EF and BC.

Then from similarity between geometric shapes, we can write
$\frac{2.2}{x} = \frac{x}{4.8}$
$x^{2} =(2.2)(4.8)=10.56$
x=3.2   (nearest tenth)

Answer: B. 3.2
