Please help? I think I know it but I'm not sure. The figure shows five locations in a city. The road which connects the playground and the pharmacy is parallel to the road which connects the school with the ice-cream shop, as shown. What is the distance between the town hall and the pharmacy? Answer 1.5 miles 2.0 miles 3.0 miles 4.5 miles

would it be 2.0?

2.0 sounds correct to me. We essentially have two similar triangles, so their side-ratios should be equivalent: 4.5 / 3 = 3 / x 4.5x = 9 x = 2
