Question

Side A B is parallel to Side D E in the map below.

Which proportion solves for the distance between D and E?
StartFraction 9 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction x Over 15 EndFraction
StartFraction 6 Over x EndFraction = StartFraction 15 Over 9 EndFraction
StartFraction 9 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 15 Over x EndFraction
StartFraction 6 Over 15 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 Over x EndFraction

Answer 1

Answer:the answer is c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

Given that the side AB is parallel to side DE.

The length of AB is 15 feet.

The length of BC is 9 feet.

The length of CD is 6 feet.

The length of DE is x feet.

We need to determine the proportion that solves the distance between D and E.

Proportion:

The proportion that solves the distance between D and E can be determined by the similar triangle property.

Thus, we have;

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

Substituting the values, we have;

`(9)/(6)=(15)/(x)`

Thus, the proportion that solves the distance between D and E is
`(9)/(6)=(15)/(x)`
