right isosceles triangle has side lengths of 13.2, 13.2, and 18.6 m what is the hypotenuse of a similar triangle with lays 4.4 m in length
To find the hypotenuse of a similar triangle, you can use the concept of proportional sides.
Since the given triangle is an isosceles right triangle, the two equal sides are both 13.2 m. Let's assume the hypotenuse of the similar triangle is represented by "x" m.
By the concept of similarity, we have the following proportional relationship between the sides:
x / 4.4 = 13.2 / 18.6
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
18.6 * x = 4.4 * 13.2
18.6x = 57.84
Dividing both sides by 18.6:
x = 57.84 / 18.6
x ≈ 3.11
Therefore, the hypotenuse of the similar triangle is approximately 3.11 m.
