Find the difference. The difference is 1 inches.
1 Which questions below can be answered using the line
plot in the example above? Circle all that apply.
A In 3 months, it rained the same amount. What is the
difference between that amount and the amount in
the month when it rained the most?
B What was the total amount of rainfall for the year?
In how many months did it rain more than 2 inches?
D How much rainfall occurred in January?
2 Look at the choices you circled in problem 1. Which can
be solved using subtraction? What is the solution? Explain.

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft

are there answer choices?
