anonymous one year ago Tony used a photocopier to dilate the design for a monorail track system. The figure below shows the design and its photocopy:

The ratio of CD:GH is 2:3. What is the length, in meters, of side EH on the photocopied image? Numerical Answers Expected!

They're similar so the ratio of corresponding sides is the equal |dw:1436909858081:dw|

I see that but what does that tell me as to the answer?

8. anonymous

you need to cross multiply to solve the equation

16 + 3EH?

10. anonymous

16 = 3EH then divide by 3 for the answer

11. anonymous

thank you so much @peachpi

12. anonymous

so for my answer I put 5.33333?

13. anonymous

you're welcome

14. anonymous

I'd leave it as 16/3 unless they ask for a decimal

Should it be $\frac{CD}{GH}=\frac{AD}{EH}$

It asks for numerical answers could you guys help me with another question? These were the only two I am stuck on Quadrilateral ABCD in the figure below represents a scaled-down model of a walkway around a historic site. Quadrilateral EFGH represents the actual walkway. ABCD is similar to EFGH.

What is the total length, in feet, of the actual walkway? Numerical Answers Expected!
