Kenzie notices that her neighbor has a window on his house that is in the shape of a triangle.
The height of the window is 10 inches and the base of the window is 6 inches. She makes a scale drawing of the triangular-shaped window. If the base of her scale drawing is 3 inches, what is the height of her scale drawing? (1 point)
• 10 inches
• 7 inches
• 5 inches
• 3 inches
The scale factor between the actual window and the scale drawing is 6 inches / 3 inches = 2.
Therefore, the height of the scale drawing is 10 inches / 2 = 5 inches.
The correct answer is 5 inches.
