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.
a triangle is 15 inch height and has a base of 25 inch. and I make a scale drawing and the base is 10 inch what is the height
