The two triangles below are similar (but not drawn to scale). Find the value of x. Round answer to the nearest tenth.
37.6 inches, 24.3 inches.
15 inches,x
x= inches
We can set up a proportion to find the value of x.
The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is the same.
So, we can set up the proportion:
37.6/24.3 = 15/x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
37.6 * x = 24.3 * 15
x = (24.3 * 15) / 37.6
x ≈ 9.82 inches
Therefore, x is approximately 9.82 inches.
its wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.
The correct proportion to set up is:
(37.6 / 15) = (24.3 / x)
Cross-multiplying the proportion gives us:
37.6 * x = 24.3 * 15
x = (24.3 * 15) / 37.6
x ≈ 9.8 inches
Therefore, x is approximately 9.8 inches.
The two triangles below are similar (but not drawn to scale). Find the value of x. Round answer to the nearest tenth.
37.6 inches, 15 inches
24.3 inches,x
x= inches
To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the similar triangles:
37.6 inches / 15 inches = 24.3 inches / x
Cross-multiplying gives us:
37.6 inches * x = 15 inches * 24.3 inches
x = (15 inches * 24.3 inches) / 37.6 inches
x ≈ 9.68 inches
Therefore, x is approximately 9.68 inches.
