Question

Does anybody go to Connexus and take Geometry B in 10th Grade?

Answer 1

Plots of land between two roads are laid out according to the boundaries shown. The boundaries between the two roads are parallel. What is the length of Plot 3 along Cheshire road?

Answer 2

@amistre64

Answer 3

the only way this makes sense to me is if all the plots are "similar"

Answer 4

if they are similar, then we can conclude that

48n = 56

40n = length desired

Answer 5

Okay so should I just say they are similar. The answer choices are
A. 46 2/3 yards
B. 67 1/5 yards
C. 66 yards
D. 37 1/3 yards @amistre64

Answer 6

we can gather from the information, that they are similar. As such, they have a similar ratio.

48 scales to 56, and 40 scales to (something)

as such, we can find the scalar to multiply by.

48n = 56; therefor 40n=(something)

find n to solve for the (something) we want to know

Answer 7

How do I find n?

Answer 8

48n = 56, is a simple algebra process ....

Answer 9

48, times 'what', is equal to 56?

Answer 10

1.16

Answer 11

close enough :)

so, 40(1.16) will get us close enough to what the answer is as well

Answer 12

46.4

Answer 13

then what we want for an answer will be 46, and a little bit ....

Answer 14

So, A?

Answer 15

A seems good to me yes

Answer 16

Can you help me with one more question?

Answer 17

I need to find the geometric mean of 275 and 11.

Answer 18

what is 275*11?

Answer 19

3025

Answer 20

to find the GEO mean, we then take the sqrt of it

what is the sqrt of 3025?

Answer 21

55

Answer 22

then 55 it is

Answer 23

Thank you so much :)
