The diagram below models the layout at a carnival where G, R, P, C, B, and E are various locations on the grounds. GRPC is a parallelogram.

Parallelogram GRPC with point B between C and P forming triangle GCB where GC equals 400 ft, CB equals 350 ft, and GB equals 450 ft, point E is outside parallelogram and segments BE and PE form triangle BPE where BP equals 250 ft.

Part A: Identify a pair of similar triangles. (2 points)

Part B: Explain how you know the triangles from Part A are similar. (4 points)

Part C: Find the distance from B to E and from P to E. Show your work. (4 points)

We can't actually see any of the points. Try not uploading the dark picture or label the points by using the draw tool

A. triangle CBG similar triangle EBP

B. do you know it why,how ?

C. just use the proportionality of corresponding sides

hope helped understandably

There you go @darkknight

darkknight · Answer

lol, didn't see that. So for part c.  the proportionality for the triangles would be the similar sides over the similar side is equal to another similar side over another similar side. In this case. The similar sides are CB and PB, GB and EB, and GC and PE
so $$GB/BE=BC/PB = GC/PE$$
Can you figure out BE and PE now?
