Calculate the ratio of the lengths of the two line segments formed on each transversal. You will have two sets of calculations. Round your answers to the hundredths place. What do you notice about the ratios of the lengths for each transversal? How do they compare?

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

your answer is b.

x = 33.9

y = 65.6
