the bottom of one triangle is 9.6 inches and we dont know the side lenght so thats x the other triangle bottom is 6.4 and the side lenght is 2 inches how long is x

1 answer

To find the length of x, we can set up a proportion using the similar triangles:

9.6 / x = 6.4 / 2

Now we can cross multiply and solve for x:

9.6 * 2 = 6.4 * x

19.2 = 6.4x

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6.4:

19.2 / 6.4 = x

3 = x

Therefore, x is equal to 3 inches.
