A right isosceles triangle has side lengths of 13.2, 13.2, and 18.6 meters. What is the hypotenuse of a similar triangle with legs 4.4 meters in length?(1 point)

Question

meters

Answer 1

To find the hypotenuse of the similar triangle, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding side lengths of the two triangles.

Let x be the length of the hypotenuse of the similar triangle.

Using the proportion: 4.4 / 13.2 = x / 18.6

Cross-multiplying, we get: 4.4 * 18.6 = 13.2 * x

Simplifying, we have: 81.84 = 13.2 * x

Dividing both sides by 13.2, we find: x = 81.84 / 13.2

Calculating this, we get: x ≈ 6.2 meters

Therefore, the hypotenuse of the similar triangle is approximately 6.2 meters.
