Find the length of X?
Smaller triangle on the right has 2in and 6.4in
Bigger version of the same triangle on the left has x and 9.6in.
How many inches?
To find the length of X, we can set up a proportion using the ratios of the corresponding sides of the two triangles.
The ratio of the corresponding sides can be written as:
(Length of X)/(Length of the smaller triangle side) = (Length of the bigger triangle side)/(Length of the smaller triangle side)
Substituting the given values, we have:
X / 2 = 9.6 / 6.4
Cross-multiplying, we get:
6.4*X = 2*9.6
Simplifying, we have:
6.4*X = 19.2
Dividing both sides by 6.4, we get:
X = 19.2 / 6.4
Simplifying further, we have:
X = 3
Therefore, the length of X is 3 inches.
