Given:
Given that the side AB is parallel to side DE.
The length of AB is 15 feet.
The length of BC is 9 feet.
The length of CD is 6 feet.
The length of DE is x feet.
We need to determine the proportion that solves the distance between D and E.
Proportion:
The proportion that solves the distance between D and E can be determined by the similar triangle property.
Thus, we have;
[tex]\frac{BC}{CD}=\frac{AB}{DE}[/tex]
Substituting the values, we have;
[tex]\frac{9}{6}=\frac{15}{x}[/tex]
Thus, the proportion that solves the distance between D and E is [tex]\frac{9}{6}=\frac{15}{x}[/tex]
