The two triangles below are similar (but not drawn to scale). Find the value of x. Round answer to the nearest tenth.
39.8 inches and 23.7 inches are together in the tringle
15.6 inches and x are in the same tringle also
To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the sides of the two similar triangles:
(39.8 / 23.7) = (15.6 / x)
Cross multiplying:
39.8x = 23.7 * 15.6
39.8x = 370.32
x = 370.32 / 39.8
x ≈ 9.3 inches
Therefore, the value of x is approximately 9.3 inches.
