Question

I need help doing this it’s the homework but I need to understand it for the test

Answer 1

By similar triangle, we have:

`\begin{gathered} Let\text{ the unknown measurement be x} \\ \text{Thus, we have:} \\ (14)/(x)=(8)/(15) \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 8x=210 \\ x=(210)/(8) \\ x=26.25\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}`

Hence, the unknown measurement of the plan is 26.25 feet
