Use proportions to find the missing side length ( x ) in the two similar figures.
(It shows an image of 2 triangle slopes, one is smaller than the other, the smaller one has 2 sides (Not the sloped side) that are marked with numbers, on the bottom part of it, it says "4.23 yd" and on the side (not sloped side) it says "3.25 yd". The bigger one has the same, the one on the side (not sloped side) says "13 yd" but on the bottom, it says x, so we have to use the missing side lengths of x.)
9.99 yards
16.92 yards
1.05 yards
4 yards
To find the missing side length (x) in the larger triangle, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar triangles:
4.23 / 3.25 = x / 13
Cross multiply:
4.23 * 13 = 3.25x
55.02 = 3.25x
Now, divide by 3.25 to solve for x:
x = 16.92 yards
Therefore, the missing side length in the larger triangle is 16.92 yards.
