Find the value of y in the similar figures (round to the nearest tenth)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 6 13.3 7.3

Can you see a side in the small triangle that has a length written whose corresponding side in the large triangle also has the length written?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. For those two corresponding sides, what are the lengths?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 and 6

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. That allows us to write a ratio between the lengths of the sides of the small polygon and the large polygon. The ratio is: \( \dfrac{4}{6} \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now we need to find the length of y. y is in the small polygon. Which side in the large polygon corresponds to y?
