3. What is the value of x? a. 5 b. 2.5 c. 7.5 d. 10

2. ***[ISURU]*** Group Title

when a triangle is divided in 2 2 halves by a line parallel to the base it divides the other sides proportionally.. which means $X : (X+ 5) = (X-2) :( X+1)$

3. ***[ISURU]*** Group Title

so u can write $\frac{ X }{ X+5 } = \frac{ X -2 }{ X +1 }$

4. ***[ISURU]*** Group Title

now solve it for x can u do that ?

5. DrPepperx3 Group Title

kk hold on im writin it down

6. DrPepperx3 Group Title

4. Plots of land between two roads are laid out according to the boundaries shown. The boundaries between the two roads are parallel. What is the length of Plot 3 along Cheshire Road? a. 46 2/3 yards b. 67 1/5 yards c. 66 yards d. 37 1/3 yards

13. ***[ISURU]*** Group Title

same rule... sides r proportional which means if the length u want to find is x $\frac{ 40 }{ 48 } = \frac{ x }{ 56 }$ got it :) ?

14. DrPepperx3 Group Title

40/48 = x/56 5/6 = x/56 6x = 280 x = 280/6 = 140/3 = 46 2/3 ?

15. ***[ISURU]*** Group Title

yep !
