An alligator's tail length is proportional to its body length. An alligator with a body length of 7.5 feet has a tail length of 8.3 feet. What is the tail length of an alligator whose body length is 5.2 feet?
To find the tail length of an alligator whose body length is 5.2 feet, we can use the given ratio of tail length to body length:
(8.3 feet)/(7.5 feet) = Tail length / 5.2 feet
Solving for Tail length, we get:
Tail length = 5.2 feet * (8.3 feet)/(7.5 feet)
Tail length = 5.76 feet
Therefore, the tail length of a 5.2 feet alligator would be 5.76 feet.
