Question

I got 13.7 is that correct

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 10.5 in

Explanation:

Data

First triangle

height = x

base = 7 in

Second triangle

height = 12 in

base = 8 in

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem, relates the sides of a triangle with the same sides of the other triangle.

`(x)/(7) = (12)/(8)`

2.- Multiply both sides by 7

`7(x)/(7) = (7(12))/(8)`

3.- Simplify

x =
`(84)/(8)`

4.- Result

x = 10.5 in
