EFGH is shown where EF is 72 ft.
ABCD is shown where AB is 6 in. BC is 3 in. CD is 3in. and DA is 4 in.
i have to find out the length of the actual walkway.

Answer 1

someone help me

Answer 2

can u help me first i will give u a metal

k

Answer 4

how can u use subtraction to describe division

Answer 5

wait a sec

Answer 13

EF is proportional to AB Since you know the length of EF and AB you can do 72/6=12. 12 is than the scale factor to find the length of FH you can do 12BC=36, GH=36 and EG=48
