HELP!!!!! In the picture below, triangle ABC represents an area in a park and triangle CDE represents a pond in the area. Segment DE is parallel to segment AB. A snack shop is located at point B and a gazebo is located at point E.

What is the distance between the gazebo and the snack shop?

20 m

15 m <------My answer

25 m

Answer 1

I think you are right... the small part of the triangle is proportional to the whole triangle, so like 8 is 1/3 of 24, 5 is like 1/3 of 15.

Answer 2
