The parallelogram shown represents a map of the boundaries of a natural preserve. Walking trails run from points A to C and from points B to D. The measurements shown represent miles.

What is the sum of the lengths of the two trails?

A. 6 miles
B. 12 miles
C. 16 miles
D. 36 miles

Answer 1

C 16 miles

Explanation:

Answer 2

y+2 = 3y-4 =

y+6 = 3y

6 =2y

y = 3

y+2 = 3+2 = 5

3y-4 = 3(3)-4 = 5

5+5 =10

2y-3 = 2(3) - 3 = 3

3+3 = 6

10+6 = 16 miles

answer is C
