Plot 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?
in plot one its 80 yards on Cheshire Road on Shelby Road its 96. On plot 3 on Shelby Road its 112 yards but on Cheshire there is nothing.
a. 46 2/3 yards
b. 93 1/3 yards
c. 68 1/2 yards
d. 66 yards
The length of plot 3 along Cheshire Road can be determined by subtracting the length of plot 1 along Cheshire Road (80 yards) from the length of plot 1 along Shelby Road (96 yards). This gives us the difference of 16 yards.
Since the boundaries between the two roads are parallel, we can assume that the difference in length between plot 1 along Shelby Road and plot 3 along Shelby Road is the same as the difference in length between plot 1 along Cheshire Road and plot 3 along Cheshire Road.
Therefore, the length of plot 3 along Cheshire Road is 16 yards.
Hence, the correct answer is d) 66 yards.
