At the Taft pull, George stretched the Taft to 3 feet. Jose stretched it 1 1/3 times as far as George. Maria stretched it 2/3 as far as George. Sally stretched it 6/6 as far. who stretched it the farthest? the least?
Do you need to determine the lengths of the three other people's taffy
pulls to compare to George's? Explain.

1. d.90

2. e. none of these (80)

3. a. 0

4. b. 6

5. e. none of these (10)

6. a. 5

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
