To find the length of "x" in the second triangle, we can set up a proportion based on the corresponding sides of the two triangles:
11.4 / 18 = x / 23.4
Cross multiplying:
18x = 11.4 * 23.4
18x = 267.96
Divide both sides by 18 to solve for x:
x = 267.96 / 18
x = 14.88
Therefore, the length of "x" in decimal form to the nearest hundredth is 14.88 inches.
11.4 / 18 = x / 23.4
Cross multiplying:
18x = 11.4 * 23.4
18x = 267.96
Divide both sides by 18 to solve for x:
x = 267.96 / 18
x = 14.88
Therefore, the length of "x" in decimal form to the nearest hundredth is 14.88 inches.
