Question

Find the distance AC between First Street and Third Street.

Answer 1

Answer: can you take a better picture and make it straight

Explanation:

Answer 2

BC = 153 m

Explanation:

three or more parallel lines are intersected by 2 or more transversals , the parallel lines divide the transversals proportionally.

to calculate the distance AC we require BC , then

`(AB)/(FE)` =
`(BC)/(ED)` ( substitute values )

`(72)/(80)` =
`(BC)/(90)` ( cross- multiply )

80 BC = 72 × 90 = 6480 ( divide both sides by 80 )

BC = 81

Then

AC = AB + BC = 72 + 81 = 153 m
