Answer:
The side of the triangle is 11 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
please kindly see the attached files for explanation
multiply 300 by 7 and then you should be able to finish the equation
Use pythagorean theorem - a^2+ b^2 = c^2
a = 2ft, b = ?, c = 6ft
2 x 2 + b^2 = 6 x 6
4 + b^2 = 36
b^2 = 36 - 4 = 32
b = square root of 32
= 5.66ft
If the triangles are similar, the proportion of the legs on the left to the legs on the right will be equal. This proportion would look like:

(You needed to combine the orange segment and the yellow segment to find the total length of the large triangle).
Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
28x+14=30x
<em>*Subtract 28x from both sides to isolate the variable*</em>
14=2x
<em>*Divide both sides by 2*</em>
7=x
Hope this helps!!
