Two American flags of different dimensions are properly folded into two similar isosceles right triangles. The ratio of the length of the legs of the smaller triangle to that of the larger triangle is 4 : 5. If the length of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is 2 feet, what is the length of the smaller triangle to the nearest tenth of a foot?

a. 0.1 ft

b. 0.6 ft

c. 1.6 ft

d. 2.5 ft

Option c. is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ratio of the length of the legs of the smaller triangle to that of the larger triangle is 4 : 5.

Length of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is 2 feet.

To find: length of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle

Solution:

Consider two similar isosceles right triangles ABC and PQR right angled at B and Q respectively such that the ratio of the length of the legs of the smaller triangle to that of the larger triangle is 4 : 5. Here assume that the triangle PQR is the larger one.

and PR = 2 feet

As the triangles are similar and sides of similar triangles are proportional,

Option c. is correct

black/brown

step-by-step explanation:

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
