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 on the triangle. If the base of her scale drawing is 4 inches what is the height of her scale drawing?
Since the scale drawing is half the size of the actual triangle, the height of the scale drawing would be half the height of the actual triangle.
Therefore, the height of the scale drawing would be 5 inches / 2 = 2.5 inches.
