1. Two American flags of different dimensions are properly folded into two similar isosceles right triangles. The ratio of the length of the legs of the smaller triangle to that of the larger triangle is 4 : 5. If the length of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle to the nearest tenth of a foot?
a. 0.1 ft
b. 0.6 ft
c. 1.6 ft
d. 2.5 ft
Can you show me how to solve this?
2. The legs of a right triangle measure 14 and 25. To the nearest tenth of a degree, what is the measure of the angle opposite the shortest side?
a. 29.2 degrees
b.34.1 degrees
c. 55.9 degrees
d. 60.8 degrees
Can you also show me how to solve this?
Thank you!

1) I can't answer that, because you haven't provided enogh information.
2) You can solve this as tan(x)=opposite/adjacent=14/25. x=arctan(14/25)=29.2. The answer is a.
