Answer:
340 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the figure looks like the one below.
We have three parallel lines cut by two transversals.
1. Lengths of segments
(a) Segment VS
If Vitor walks 260 m,
VS + SE = 260
VS + 100 = 260
VS = 260 - 100 = 160 m
(b) Segment MJ
If Marcos walks 270 m,
MJ + JE = 270
VS + 180 = 270
VS = 270 - 180 = 90 m
(c) Segment PV
The segments on the transversals are proportional.
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{x}{90} & = & \dfrac{160}{180} \\\\x & = & 90 \times \left (\dfrac{160}{180}\right )\\\\& = &\textbf{80 m}\\\end{array}\\\textbf{PV = 80 m}[/tex]
2. Distance travelled by Pedro
Distance = PV + VS + SE = 80 m + 160 m + 100 m = 340 m
Pedro walks 340 m to school.
