Question

AB is parallel to DE in the map below.

Which proportion solves for the distance between D and E?
A. 9/6=x/15
B. 6/x=15/9
C. 9/6=15/x
D. 6/15=9/x

Answer 1

C) C. 9/6=15/x

I just took the quiz on edge

Answer 2

Option C.
`(9)/(6)=(15)/(x)`

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

`(AB)/(DE)=(BC)/(CD)`

substitute the values

`(15)/(x)=(9)/(6)\\ \\x=15*6/9\\ \\x= 10\ ft`
