Question

Tom used a photocopier to dilate the design for a monorail track system. The figure shows the design and its photocopy:

Two irregular quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH are drawn. EFGH is the photocopy of design ABCD. AB measures 17 meters, AD measures 7 meters. No dimensions are shown on EFGH.

The ratio of BC:FG is 1:2. What is the length, in meters, of side EH on the photocopied image?

7
14
17
34

Answer 1

So the ratio is 1:2

if side AD is 7 then you''ll have to multiply 7 by 2 to find the side length if EH

Answer 2

7 times 2 is 14 right?
If I did that right anyways-

Answer 3

yup, so side EH is 14

Answer 4

Therefore the answer is 14
