Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let length of the hypotenuse = 3x and length of given leg be x feet.
then (3x)^2 = x^2 + 648
8x^2 = 648
x^2 = 81
so x = 9 and 3x = 27
Hypotenuse is 27 feet and the leg equals 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:
Since the 2 figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
18x = 48 ( divide both sides by 18 )
x =
=
= 2 
Similarly
=
( cross- multiply )
18y = 30 ( divide both sides by 18 )
y =
=
= 1
