Answer:

x=42.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

x/47=82.8/92

92x=3891.6= 42.3m is the distance

Given that the triangles formed are similar, the distance between the two campsites is: 42.3 m.

What are Similar Triangles?

Triangles that are similar to each other always have the same shape but different sizes, and the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal (proportional).

The two triangles formed are similar triangles. Therefore:

47/FG = 82/73.8

Cross multiply

FG = (47 × 73.8)/82

FG = 42.3 m

Therefore, given that the triangles formed are similar, the distance between the two campsites is: 42.3 m.
