6. Four of the park's characters, Pascal, Cayley, Fermat and Euclid, were playing in the Sine Wave water park as shown below. If \triangle FOE \sim \triangle POC, determine how far Euclid was from Fermat (x) and how far Pascal was from Cayley (y). [3]

Step 1
Since AFOE is a straight line, we can use the distance formula to find the distance between A and E. Distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) In this case, A = (0, 0) and E = (9, 0). So, the distance Show more…

"11_ The perimeter around Lake Side Park, a rectangular shaped park, is 5200 feet. Jerry was planning to walk around the entire park, but had only traveled along three sides when his friend Shari picked him up. Jerry's Fitbit recorded that he had traveled 3820 feet around the park, so far. Assuming his plan was to walk all the way around the park, how much farther would he have walked if Shari hadn't picked him up? What was the distance of each side of the park? Draw a diagram to illustrate your solution."

A gazebo is being built near a nature trail. An equation of the line representing the nature trail is $\mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{x}-4 .$ Each unit in the coordinate plane corresponds to 10 feet. Approximately how far is the gazebo from the nature trail?
