Question

Item 3 Question 1 The triangle on the left is transformed into the triangle on the right. Two triangles side by side in the same position with a right arrow between them. In the left triangle, the left and right sides are each labeled 15 in. and the bottom side is labeled 21 in. In the right triangle, the left and right sides are labeled 1 and 2 over 3 ft and the bottom side is labeled 2 and 1 third ft. The measurements are given in different units. You cannot determine a scale factor until they are in the same units. You can convert the inches in the first triangle to feet, or you can convert the feet in the second triangle to inches. Both ways are perfectly fine. For here, to avoid working with fractions when dividing, we will convert the feet in the second triangle to inches. What are the dimensions of the second triangle when measured in inches? Enter your answers in the boxes. You can write the dimensions in any order. in. and in.

Answer 1

20 & 28 inches

Explanation:

1 2/3 in inches is: 20
2 1/3 in inches is: 28

A foot is 12 inches so 2/3rds of 12 is 8, and the 1 is a foot. So 12 + 8 equals 20

Two feet is 24 inches, so 1/3rd of twelve is 4. So 24 + 4 equals 28

Hope this helps!
