Question 1172524: Desperately need help
The diagram below models the layout at a carnival where G, R, P, C, B, and E are various locations on the grounds. GRPC is a parallelogram.
Parallelogram GRPC with point B between C and P forming triangle GCB where GC equals 350 ft, CB equals 300 ft, and GB equals 400 ft, point E is outside parallelogram and segments BE and PE form triangle BPE where BP equals 200 ft.
Part A: Identify a pair of similar triangles.
Part B: Explain how you know the triangles from Part A are similar.
Part C: Find the distance from B to E and from P to E.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Look, there is no way we can possibly help you! Why?

The first figure below is all you have given us. Where in the world is E?  All
you said about E is that it is "outside the parallelogram", which could be like
the other two figures below, or E could even be in New York, California or
Australia. Those places are also "outside the parallelogram"!!!   lol.
