To find the height of Kenzie's scale drawing, we can set up a proportion using the ratios of the corresponding sides.
The ratio of the height of the actual window to the base of the actual window is 10:6 (or simplified, 5:3).
The ratio of the height of the scale drawing to the base of the scale drawing is x:3.
Setting up the proportion, we have:
5/3 = x/3
Cross multiplying, we get:
3x = 15
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 5
Therefore, the height of Kenzie's scale drawing is 5 inches.
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? (1 point)
