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
To find the hypotenuse of the similar triangle, we can use the property of similar triangles that states the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
In the first right isosceles triangle, we have two equal leg lengths of 13.2 meters.
In the second triangle, the length of one of the legs is given as 4.4 meters.
Let's denote the length of the hypotenuse of the second triangle as x.
So, we can set up a proportion:
(13.2/13.2) = (18.6/x)
Simplifying this proportion gives us:
1 = 18.6/x
We can now solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by x:
x = 18.6
Therefore, the hypotenuse of the similar triangle is 18.6 meters.
