Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two triangles, one big and one small. In the big triangle, one side measures 13 yards and another side measures x. In the small triangle, the side corresponding to 13 yards in the big triangle measures 3.25 yards and the side corresponding to x measures 4.23 yards.
Use proportions to find the missing side length ( x ) in the two similar figures.

To find the missing side length (x) in the two similar figures, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides:
x/13 = 4.23/3.25
Now we can cross multiply and solve for x:
3.25x = 13*4.23
3.25x = 54.99
x ≈ 16.92 yards
Therefore, the missing side length (x) in the two similar figures is approximately 16.92 yards.
