We can set up a proportion to solve for the lengths of the other two sides. Let's call the lengths of the other two sides $x$ and $y$. We can write the proportion as:
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{1.4}{4.2}$
To solve for $x$ and $y$, we can cross-multiply:
$4.2x = 1.4y$
Now, we can substitute the given values of $x$ and $y$ into the equation and solve for them.
A triangle has sides of lengths 4.2, 5.7, and 7.2 inches. The smallest side of a similar triangle is 1.4 inches. What are the lengths of the other 2 sides? Write the smaller side length first and the larger side length second. The smaller side length is blank inches and the larger size length is blank inches.
