Question

The designers of a skateboard park are building a ramp and need a scaled-down model of one of their ramps. The side view of the actual ramp, labeled JKL, and the side view of the model, labeled PQR, is shown below. What would be the coordinates of a new point R that will make the model version of the ramp similar to the actual ramp? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

Answer 1

create a ratio from the side lengths of the larger model; \(\frac{JL}{JK}\). then equate that using the same ration of lengths from the smaller setup: \(\frac{PR}{PQ}\).

you should get a distance PR that you can use to determine the coords for R

Answer 2

im still confused?
