the corresponding sides of two similar rectangles are 14 ft. and 8 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "the area of the smaller rectangle is 57 ft squared to the nearest whole number,
\n" ); document.write( " what is the area of larger rectangle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assume they are right triangles, find the other side of the smaller triangle
\n" ); document.write( "2(57/8) = 14.25 sq/ft: (.5*14.25*8=57)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the other side of the larger triangle, using corresponding sides in
\n" ); document.write( " similar triangles
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14%2F8\"$ *14.25 = 24.9375
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the larger triangle
\n" ); document.write( ".5*14*24.9375 = 174.5625 sq/ft area of the larger triangle
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
