In Similar trangles, corresponding sides are in the same ration. Therefore 5' 4' ----- = ------ 17' 6" X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cross multiplying, we get X x 5' = 4' x 17'6" further X = (4' x 17'6") ---------- 5'

Sorry, made a slight typo in my statement above so rewriting it again "In Similar trangles, corresponding sides are in the same ratios."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now 4 x 17' 6" = 68' 24" = 68' 2' = 70' So, X = 70'/5' = 14'
