Answer 30

so I know that em' is 21 inches shorter than em and by that then the sides of the prime would be 35 since 56-21 is 35 but then I realized tat wouldn't be possible because the top on the adult pinball machine is 20.

@3mar

Answer 32

"em' "???

Answer 33

@3mar E'M' AND EM

Answer 34

at this point I don't think I'll ever understand whats going on

Answer 35

Easy sister!

GA = 20

EM = 35

E'M' = 14

ok?

Answer 36

\[\Large \frac{ GA }{ G'A' }=\frac{ EM }{ E'M' }\]now plug in their values!

Answer 37

I understand that part I just don't get how to find G'A'

Answer 38

2 min and I will be back

Answer 39

ok so EM/E'M' = 2.5
