PLEASE HELP The River family bought a new tent for camping. Their old tent had equal sides of 10ft and a floor width of 15, as shown in the accompanying diagram. If the new tent is similar in shape to the old tent and has equal sides of 16 feet, the floor of the new tent is feet wide. Please & thank you!

What is the shape of the tent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a triangle

This was a guess, as I do not know what the tents actually look like.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well thank you for the try, i don't know how to set this up

OpenStudy (littlebird):

Anyway, if I continue with my proportion, I would get x=24.

OpenStudy (littlebird):

The new tent might be 24 feet wide
