If 1 side of a triangle is 10 inches and the same side in a 2nd triangle is 20 inches.
A 2nd side is 4 inches in the 1st triangle what is the same side in the 2nd triangle?
-----
Assuming the triangles are similar you may use a proportion::
1st/1st = 2nd/2nd
---------------------------
1/20 = 4/x
-----
Cross-multiply to get:
x = 80
