Question

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 375 ft, CB equals 325 ft, and GB equals 425 ft, point E is outside parallelogram and segments BE and PE form triangle BPE where BP equals 225 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)

part A not is finished again bc. you need to prove this similarity

Answer 13

Theyre similar though, correct?

Answer 14

the triangles are the same shape PBE
is just smaller

Answer 15

yes but why are similar - do you know ?

Answer 16

is that right? or the concept is right just not worded correctly?
