Answer:
FG = 21
Explanation:
The ratio is 2:3
2 BC
----- = ----------------
3 FG
2 14
Using cross products
2FG = 3*14
2FG = 42
Divide by 2
The ratio 2:3 means for every 2 inches on the original, the photocopy would be 3 inches.
3/2 = 1.5
The photocopied image is 1.5 times larger than the original.
Side BG on the original is side FG on the copy:
14 x 1.5 = 21 meters
FG = 21 meters
