  1. Shadows A flashlight projects an image of rectangle ABCD on a wall so that each vertex of ABCD is 3 ft away from the corresponding vertex of eh prime , b prime , c prime , d prime , .  The length of eh b bar  is 3 in. The length of eh prime , b prime bar  is 1 ft. How far from each vertex of ABCD is the light?

    A flashlight is aimed to the right to rectangle ABCD, projecting rectangle A’B’C’D’ on the wall on the right.
