Answer 1

Answer:

Find the length of the hose = 5.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden is divided into two similar triangle.

The hose divided one side of the triangle to two equal parts.

Side a = 6ft

Side b = 3ft

Side c = ? (length of hose)

a² = b² + c²

6² = 3² + c²

36 = 9 + c²

27 = c²

√27 = c

5.196 = c
