X = 1, since they intersect at (1,6) and are thus equal at that point
Answer: 6.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the ratio of the side of the similar triangle = 2 : 3
Thus, by the property of similar triangle,
The ratio of the altitudes of the triangle = 2 : 3
Let the altitude of smaller triangle = 2 x
And, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 x
Where x is any number.
According to the question,
2 x = 4.5
x = 2.25
Therefore, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 × 2.25 = 6.75 feet
Well first off if you have a negative sign in front of the seven, DO NOT have a plus sign because it will be confusing. So y-7=13? , You add 7 to 13 and = 20, so y= 20
