Question

Side A B is parallel to Side D E in the map below.

Answer 1

Given:

Given that the side AB is parallel to side DE.

The length of AB is 15 feet.

The length of BC is 9 feet.

The length of CD is 6 feet.

The length of DE is x feet.

We need to determine the proportion that solves the distance between D and E.

Proportion:

The proportion that solves the distance between D and E can be determined by the similar triangle property.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{BC}{CD}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

Substituting the values, we have;

$\frac{9}{6}=\frac{15}{x}$

Thus, the proportion that solves the distance between D and E is $\frac{9}{6}=\frac{15}{x}$

Answer 2

Answer:

the proportion that solves the distance between D and E is 9/6=15/x
