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?
__ meters
6.2 meters
The ratio of corresponding sides in similar polygons is equal. Therefore, we can set up a proportion:
(38 mm / 29 mm) = (95 mm / x)
Solving for x (the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral):
38/29 = 95/x
38x = 29*95
38x = 2755
x = 2755 / 38
x ≈ 72.5
Therefore, the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral is 72.5 mm.
a quadrilaterals smallest side measures 29 mm and its largest side measures 38 mm. a similar quadrilaterals largest side measures 95 mm. what is the measure of its smallest side?
__ mm
A triangle has sides of lengths 4.2, 5.7, and 7.2 inches. the smallest side of a similar triangle is 1.4 inches. what are the lengths of the other two sides? write the smaller side length first and the larger side length second.
The smaller side length is __ inches and the larger side length is __ inches
To find the lengths of the other two sides of the similar triangle, we can use the property of similar triangles that states the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
Let x be the length of the larger side of the similar triangle. We can set up the following proportion:
4.2 / 1.4 = 5.7 / x
Solving for x:
4.2 / 1.4 = 5.7 / x
3 = 5.7 / x
3x = 5.7
x = 5.7 / 3
x = 1.9
Therefore, the lengths of the other two sides of the similar triangle are 1.4 inches and 1.9 inches.
