The bases of the two similar triangular prisms shown below are equilateral triangles.

What is the value of x, an edge length of the larger prism in centimeters?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

28 cm

Explanation:

For the similar figures, a proportion can relate the side lengths.

x/(7 cm) = 11.2/2.8

x = (7cm)(11.2/2.8) = 28 cm

The value of x is 28 cm.
