Answer 1

Answer:

The actual height of the object is 200.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

The actual height = 154 cm.

The height in the picture = 10 cm.

The height of the object = 13 cm

The scale of the picture is 154 is to 10 or 154:10 which is equivalent to 77:5

Therefore the scale of the actual object height to the image height = 77:5

Where the image of the object = 13 cm

Let the height of the actual object = X, then we then have;

$\dfrac{77}{5} = \dfrac{X}{13}$

$X = 13 \times \dfrac{77}{5} = \dfrac{1001}{5} = 200\frac{1}{5} \ cm = 200.2 \ cm$

The actual height of the object = 200.2 cm.
