Becky’s mother works in an office, and her father works in a hospital. They both walk to work from home every day. Each unit on the graph is equal to 1 block. Becky’s mother walks to reach her office, which is farther than Becky’s father walks to reach the hospital.

I think the answer is 9 or 11. And its 4 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

I think she walks 14 blocks to get to her office and 4 blocks to reach the hospital. I had this question too and i figured it out

hope this helped :3

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
