figure 1 is 11.4 in and 18 in
figure 2 is x and 23.4 in
what is the length of x in decimal form to the nearest hundredth?
To find the length of figure 2 (x) in decimal form to the nearest hundredth, we can set up the following proportion:
18 in / 11.4 in = 23.4 in / x
Cross-multiplying, we have:
18 in * x = 11.4 in * 23.4 in
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
414.8 in^2 = 11.4 in * x
Dividing both sides by 11.4 in:
414.8 in^2 / 11.4 in = x
This gives us:
36.4211 in = x
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the length of x is approximately 36.42 in.
