Question

The diagram below represents a rectangular garden with walkways along the diagonals. A fountain is located at point F, which is the center of the park. Marie enters the park through the west gate and walks (3x – 1) yards to reach the fountain. Jennifer enters the park through the east gate and walks (4x – 8) yards to reach the same spot.
What is the approximate distance Jennifer walks to reach the fountain from the east gate of the park?

Answer 1

The diagonals of the rectangle should be equivalent, therefore:

3x -1 = 4x -8 --> 7 = x

Now plug x into the distance from the east end to the fountain:

Distance = 4(7) -8 = 20 yards
