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.
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)
