Given:
After enlargement of the triangle,
Base of small triangle = 1.7 feet
Height of small triangle = 9.3 feet.
Base of larger triangle = 3.5 feet
Height of larger triangle = x feet.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
After enlargement the figure is similar to original figure,
We know that the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Base of small triangle}}{\text{Base of larger triangle}}=\dfrac{\text{Height of small triangle}}{\text{Height of larger triangle}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1.7}{3.5}=\dfrac{9.3}{x}[/tex]
[tex]1.7\times x=9.3\times 3.5[/tex]
[tex]1.7x=33.55[/tex]
Divide both sides by 1.7.
[tex]x=\dfrac{32.55}{1.7}[/tex]
[tex]x=19.1470[/tex]
[tex]x\approx 19.1[/tex]
The value of x is 19.1 feet. Therefore, the correct option is B.
