To find the hypotenuse of a similar triangle, you can use the concept of proportions.
In the given right isosceles triangle, the ratio between the length of one leg and the hypotenuse is as follows:
13.2 / 18.6 = 4.4 / x
To find the value of x, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
13.2 * x = 18.6 * 4.4
13.2x = 81.84
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 13.2:
x = 81.84 / 13.2
x ≈ 6.2 meters
Therefore, the hypotenuse of the similar triangle with legs 4.4 meters in length is approximately 6.2 meters.
