Two right triangles of different sizes. The first triangle has a leg labeled 10.4 feet and a hypotenuse labeled 12.6 feet. The second triangle has a leg labeled 5.2 feet and a hypotenuse labeled x ft.

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer 1

The hypotenuse of the  second triangle (x) = 6.3ft

The scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides, reduced to the original.

scale factor = 5.2/10.4  

                  = 1/2

Then, x = 12.6 × 1/2

             = 6.3 ft
