What is the length of x in decimal form to the nearest hundredth?

one triangle; height 11.4 in, width 18 in

two triangle: height ?, width 23.4 in

1 answer

To find the length of the second triangle's height, we can set up a proportion using the first triangle's height and width.

Let the length of the second triangle's height be represented by x.

11.4 / 18 = x / 23.4

To solve for x, we can cross multiply.

18 * x = 11.4 * 23.4

x ≈ 7.184

Therefore, the length of x in decimal form, to the nearest hundredth, is approximately 7.18 inches.
