Question

coordinates of b?
(there is a diagram with parallel lines, a transversal, and segments labeled 5, 11, 22, and x)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Proportional Segments

The figure shows parallel lines cut by transversals, forming proportional segments. So, we set up a proportion: $\frac{5}{11} = \frac{x}{22}$.

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Cross - multiply: \( 11x = 5\times22 \).
Simplify right - hand side: \( 5\times22 = 110 \).
Then, \( x=\frac{110}{11}=10 \).

Answer:

\( x = 10 \)
