Crystal cuts a piece of wood into the shape of a triangle. The height of the triangle is 5 inches, and the base of the triangle measures 8 inches. She makes a scale drawing of the triangle. If the base of her scale drawing is 4 inches, what is the height of her scale drawing? (1 point) Responses
The scale factor between the actual triangle and the scale drawing is 8/4 = 2.
Therefore, the height of the scale drawing would be 5/2 = 2.5 inches.
