Polly is helping build some garden gates for her local community garden. They have already built the gate below and want to build a smaller gate similar to the gate they have built. If the height of the interior right triangle on the small gate is 10 inches, what is the width, in inches, of the interior right triangle on the small gate?

Okay! I think you accidentally asked this in the computer science section! You'll be able to find more help in the math section! I think it would be good for you to close this question and ask it in the math section! :)

I know. It just took me here.

Huh... You should go to the math section and try asking it there. Maybe it'll work this time around. There are lots of people who are good at geometry, there.
