A triangle is 3.25 and 4.23. A similar triangle is 13 and x. Solve for x.

Answer 1

Since the two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional.

This means that the ratio of the lengths of the sides of the first triangle to the lengths of the sides of the second triangle is the same for all corresponding sides.

So we can set up a proportion:

3.25/4.23 = 13/x

Cross multiplying, we get:

3.25x = 4.23*13

3.25x = 55.19

Dividing by 3.25, we get:

x = 55.19/3.25

x = 17

Therefore, the length of the corresponding side in the second similar triangle is 17.
