Question

Salma used a photocopier to dilate the design for a monorail track system. The figure shows the design and its photocopy: Two irregular quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH are drawn. EFGH is the photocopy of design ABCD. AB measures 15 meters, DC measures 17 meters. No dimensions are shown on EFGH. The ratio of AD:EH is 1:2. What is the length, in meters, of side GH on the photocopied image? 15 17 30 34

Answer 1

34

Explanation:

hope this helps

Answer 2

The answer is 34

Explanation:

The ratio of AD:EH is 1:2, so therefore the other line segments have the same ratio. Using this logic, we see that DC is equal to 17 m, and we need to find GH. All we do now is double the measurement of DC since the ratio of the two shapes is 1:2.

Therefore, 17 * 2 = 34
