Salma used a photocopier to dilate the design for a monorail track system. The figure below shows the design and its photocopy:The ratio of AD:EH is 1:2. What is the length, in meters, of side GH on the photocopied image?

Answer:
[tex]GH=\text{ 34 square meters}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio of AD:EH is 1:2 and these are similar polygons. We assume that line GH would have the same ratio as DC:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Given ratio: 1:2} \\ GH=17\cdot2 \\ GH=\text{ 34 square meters} \end{gathered}[/tex]
