A right isosceles triangle has side lengths of 13.2, 13.2, and 18.6 meters. What is the hypotenuse of a similar triangle with legs 4.4 meters in length?
Answer: ( ) Meters
To find the hypotenuse of the similar triangle, we can set up a proportion.
Let the hypotenuse of the similar triangle be h. We can set up the following proportion:
(13.2 / 4.4) = (18.6 / h)
Simplifying this proportion, we get:
3 = 18.6 / h
To solve for h, we can multiply both sides of the equation by h:
3h = 18.6
Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
h = 18.6 / 3
h ≈ 6.2 meters
Therefore, the hypotenuse of the similar triangle is approximately 6.2 meters.
