Question

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)

Answer 1

The ratio of corresponding sides in similar triangles is equal.

In this case, the ratio of the legs of the first triangle to the legs of the second triangle is 13.2/4.4 = 3.

Since the hypotenuse of the first triangle is 18.6 meters, the hypotenuse of the second triangle can be calculated as 18.6 / 3 = 6.2 meters.

Therefore, the hypotenuse of the similar triangle with legs 4.4 meters in length is 6.2 meters.
