Question

The following two triangles are similar. Find the missing side length represented by x.

Answer 1

$\frac{22.75}{13} = \frac{x}{4}$

Because the ratio of the sides of similar triangles are equal.

Therefore,

$1.75 = \frac{x}{4}$

Hence, 1.75 × 4 = 7

So it is your answer...

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at image for details.

You take the ratio 4 in : 13 in and multiply both sides by $\frac{22.75}{13}$:

4 in : 13 in ⮕ 7 in : 22.75 in
