Answer 1

Answer:

4.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Two shapes are said to be similar if they have the same shape and their sides are in the same proportion, i.e. the ratio of their sides are equal.

Given the two figures attached, the height of the first figure is 11 ft, while its width is 8 ft. For the second figure, its height is x feet and its length is 3 ft. Since the two figure are similar therefore the ratio of their sides are equal. Therefore:

$\frac{x}{11} =\frac{3}{8}\\ \\x=\frac{3*11}{8}=4.125\\ \\x=4.1\ feet(to\ nearest\ tenth)$
