NEED HELP ASAP. A garden in the shape of an equilateral triangle measures 6 feet on each side. An irrigation hose runs from one vertex directly to another as shown in the picture. Find the lengty of the hose.

Find the length of the hose = 5.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden is divided into two similar triangle.

The hose divided one side of the triangle to two equal parts.

Side a = 6ft

Side b = 3ft

Side c = ? (length of hose)

a² = b² + c²

6² = 3² + c²

36 = 9 + c²

27 = c²

√27 = c

5.196 = c

b

step-by-step explanation:

calculate the scale factor as the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = = = 1
