how do i find the proportionality of a right triangle?

Question

trying to find the proportionality of a right triangle and how to do it  exp.  24=32

                                                                                                           x    13+x

Answer 1

The question is not well phrased.

You appear to have written 24=32, which is not a true equation.

 

If you MEANT that corresponding sides of two SIMILAR right triangles have measurements of 24 and 32, then the smaller triangle's sides are ¾ that of the larger triangle.

 

If that's so, and if you meant that two other corresponding sides measure x and x+13, then you can legitimately write the proportion ¾ = x/(x+13). This then leads to the solution x=39.
