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?
Since the proportions of the triangle are the same, we can set up a proportion to find the height of Kenzie's scale drawing.
10 inches / 6 inches = x inches / 3 inches
Cross multiplying, we get:
6x = 30
x = 5
Therefore, the height of Kenzie's scale drawing is 5 inches.
