Answer: 60 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: For your parent’s 25th wedding anniversary, you want to restore and enlarge their engagement picture. The photo was originally 3 in long by 5 in high and you want to create an enlargement that is 36 in long.

Since the sides before and after enlargement remains proportional.

Let h be the height is the enlargement.

Therefore , we have

$\dfrac{h}{36}=\dfrac{5}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\dfrac{5\times36}{3}=60$

Hence, this enlargement is 60 in. high.
