anonymous · Answer

i found segment GA is 28 inches for the adult

anonymous · Answer

ok so i got 11.2 inches as my answer. can you check @iGreen

anonymous · Answer

the adult size GA is 25 and the smaller one is 10

igreen · Answer

No..it's not 28.

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

We are given the perimeter, and are missing one side.

P = 172

35 + 56 + 56 + x = 172

Find 'x'

Yes, now we can set up a proportion.
