Question

Walk me through this

Answer 1

E-f is 72

Answer 2

You are looking for a ratio. Can you find it?

Answer 3

so A-B is 6 now B-C is half that so F-G is half 72

Answer 4

H-G matches F-G

Answer 5

EF to AB is 72/6. This can be further simplified to 12/1.

Answer 6

wait what?

Answer 7

how is it 72/6 if its the same thing but smaller scale .-.

Answer 8

Guys I'm so confused

Answer 9

k lemme try explaining

Answer 10

the big one is a bigger scale to the small one

Answer 11

so basically the same length but bigger.

Answer 12

A-B is 6 so E-Fis 72

Answer 13

for every 1 in the smaller one that would equal 12 inn the big one

Answer 14

I just did this exact same problem a few days ago and got it correct. I can walk you through this

Answer 15

i basically just explained the whole thing :l

Answer 16

Since ABCD is a similar scale of EFGH, you use a ratio to find the total length of the actual walkway. @chucho78 is correct, with every side of ABCD you multiply it by 12 since the ration is 12/1.

AB is 6 --- 6x12=72
BC is 3 --- 3x12=36
CD is 3--- 3x12=36
DA is 4 ---4x12=48

Add all of the products together and you get 120 feet

Answer 17

hurray math!

Answer 18
