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.
Part C: Find the distance from B to E and from P to E. Show your work.
Sorry, I just do not understand.

Answer 1

i ve solved this problem a few days ago

Answer 2

just use the proportionality of corresponding sides

Answer 3

No, sorry, still confused. How can I use that to help? Sorry.

Answer 4

@jhonyy9

Answer 5

I am not smart enough for this.

Answer 6

I am not smart enough for this either.

Answer 7

so you need calcule the length of BE and PE

so how i ve wrote above use the proportionality of corresponding sides

and write in this way

GB / BE = CB / BP

so what you get with numbers ? can you calcule from this the length of BE ?

Answer 8

can you calcule ?

Answer 9

so when you plug it in it would be 425/x=325/225?

Answer 10

exactly and from this x = ?

Answer 11

ok cross multiplie what you get ?

Answer 12

294.23 is x or is that way off?

Answer 13

425*225 = x*325

x = 425 * 225 / 325 = ?

Answer 14

95625 = x*325
3825/13

Answer 15

294,23 is correct

Answer 16

so this is BE and now PE = ?

Answer 17

use how i ve wrote for BE

Answer 18

so CG/PE = CB/BP or CG/PE = gb/be

Answer 19

Sorry, I am really confused.

Answer 20

correct - this is right

but i say use the given length with integers - will be more easy to make the calcule

Answer 21

256.15

Answer 22

375 times 222 equals 83250
3330/13 is 256.15

Answer 23

Correct?

Answer 24

Or am I way wrong?

Answer 25

325 / 225 = 375 / x

325 x = 225 *375

x = 225*375 / 325 = ?

Answer 26

Oh I did 222

Answer 27

where ?

Answer 28

259.62
When I calculated i ==I did 325/222 instead of 325/225

Answer 29

Because 375 times 225 is 84375
3375/13
259.62

Answer 30

Right?

Answer 31

yes right sure
