Question

PLEASE HURRY!!

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

Triangle A B C. Side A B is 15 feet and side B C is 9 feet. Triangle C D E. Side C D is 6 feet and side D E is x feet.

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

Let's apply BPT theorem(Not necessary we can apply common ratios and similarities)

• AB/BC=CE/DE

Put values

• 15/9=6/x

Option B

Let's solve it out

• 15x=54
• x=54)15
• x=18/5
• x=3.6
