1 answer

To find the height of the triangle with a base of 10 inches in the scale drawing, we can set up a proportion using the given measurements:

Original height: 15 inches
Original base: 25 inches
Scale drawing base: 10 inches

Let x be the height of the triangle in the scale drawing.

Using the proportion:

15 / 25 = x / 10

Solving for x:

15 * 10 = 25x
150 = 25x
x = 150 / 25
x = 6

Therefore, the height of the triangle in the scale drawing with a base of 10 inches is 6 inches.
