Consider the enlargement of the parallelogram. A smaller parallelogram with side lengths one-third foot and x feet. A larger parallelogram with side lengths 8 feet and 6 feet.

Set up a proportion to solve for the missing measure of the original parallelogram.

Which side of the original parallelogram corresponds to the 6 ft side of the enlarged parallelogram?
What is the second step in solving the proportion?

What is the value of the missing measure?

i pretty sure it is

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
