The sail on a souvenir boat is similar in shape to the sail on a sailboat. The sail on the sailboat is in the shape of a right triangle with a base of 9 feet and height of 24 feet. The height of the souvenir's sail is 3 inches. What is the base of the souvenir's sail

Sagot :

Answer:

1 1/8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sails are similar,  corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so we have the equation

:24/3 = 9/b     where  b = base of the souvenir boat.

Cross multiply:

24b = 9*3

b = 27/24

= 1 1/8 inches.
