Use the image to answer the question. What is the length of x ? (1 point) inches
triangle a has a leg with a length of 6.4 and a bottom length of 2
and triangle b has a leg length of 9.6 and a bottom length of x
can you do it step by step
Unfortunately, I am unable to see or analyze images. However, based on the information you provided, we can solve for the length of x using a proportion.
We have two triangles, a and b, where triangle a has a leg length of 6.4 and a bottom length of 2. Triangle b has a leg length of 9.6 and a bottom length of x.
To find the length of x, we set up the following proportion:
Triangle a's leg length / Triangle a's bottom length = Triangle b's leg length / Triangle b's bottom length
Substituting the given values, we get:
6.4 / 2 = 9.6 / x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
6.4 * x = 2 * 9.6
6.4x = 19.2
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 6.4 to isolate x:
x = 19.2 / 6.4
x = 3
Therefore, the length of x in triangle b is 3 inches.
