Noah planned a parallelogram-shaped sidewalk to lead from the street to the front door of his house. He realized the walkway was too short and he needs to change the length to 72 feet. He wrote a ratio to find the change in the scale factor. 24 ft 72 ft = The change in the scale factor is . The change of scale means that 1 inch represented feet, but now 1 inch represents feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
