Original height = original width = x mm
1. She made an enlarged copy...
height = 2x
width = 2x
2. She cut off a rectangle...
height = 2x
width =
3.She doubled the width...
height = 2x
width =
height * width = area
Original height was
162 mm
(10/17) / (-15/17) =

Answer:Cross multiply and solve for x.
x/6 = 5/1.25
let the height of building be h ft
h/6 = 60/15
h = 6(60/15) = 24
the building is 24 ft high
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first let’s covert the ft to in- 5ft is 60 in and 6ft is 72 in. Then we want to set up 2 fractions based on height and shadow, so we have 60/15=x/72 (we put x because that’s what we’re trying to find). Then we do cross multiplication so now we have 15x=4320. We divide 15, so now we have 4320/15=288. So the building is 288 in tall or 24ft tall! Glad to help! :)
Its 18....................................
180 divided by 3 = 60
60 x 5 = 300
