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


Which proportion solves for the distance between D and E?

StartFraction 9 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction x Over 15 EndFraction

StartFraction 6 Over x EndFraction = StartFraction 15 Over 9 EndFraction

StartFraction 9 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 15 Over x EndFraction

StartFraction 6 Over 15 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 Over x EndFraction

Side A B is parallel to Side D E in the map below Which proportion solves for the distance between D and E StartFraction 9

Answer :

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;

[tex]\frac{BC}{CD}=\frac{AB}{DE}[/tex]

Substituting the values, we have;

[tex]\frac{9}{6}=\frac{15}{x}[/tex]

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