Plots of land between two roads are laid out according to the boundaries shown. The boundaries between the two roads are parallel. What is the length of Plot 3 along Cheshire Road?
The figure show 4 labeled plots of land created by parallel vertical boundaries between two roads.
The top road is labeled Cheshire Road.
The lower road is labeled Shelby Road.
5 vertical segments marked parallel connect the two roads from the left to the right creating four sections.
The outer left section is labeled Plot 1.
The middle left section is labeled Plot 2.
The middle right section is labeled Plot 3.
The outer right section is labeled Plot 4.
The top segment of Plot 1 is labeled 40 yards.
The bottom segment of Plot 1 is labeled 48 yards.
The bottom segment of Plot 3 is labeled 56 yards.

To find the length of Plot 3 along Cheshire Road, we need to subtract the lengths of the segments of Plot 1 and Plot 4 from the total length of the road.
The top segment of Plot 1 is 40 yards.
The bottom segment of Plot 1 is 48 yards.
So the total length of Plot 1 along Cheshire Road is 40 + 48 = 88 yards.
The total length of Cheshire Road is not given in the problem statement, so we cannot determine the length of Plot 3 along Cheshire Road without that information.
