There is a smaller triangle with side lengths of 3.25 yd. and 4.23 yd. the larger triangle has side lengths of 13 yd. and x what is the missing measurement?

Answer 1

To find the missing measurement of the larger triangle, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding side lengths of the two triangles.

Let x represent the missing measurement of the larger triangle. We can set up the proportion as follows:

3.25 / 13 = 4.23 / x

Cross multiplying, we get:

3.25x = 13 * 4.23
3.25x = 55.38

Dividing by 3.25 on both sides, we get:

x = 17.04

Therefore, the missing measurement of the larger triangle is 17.04 yards.
