Answer:  6.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the ratio of the side of the similar triangle = 2 : 3

Thus, by the property of similar triangle,

The ratio of the altitudes of the triangle = 2 : 3

Let the altitude of smaller triangle = 2 x

And, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 x

Where x is any number.

According to the question,

2 x = 4.5

x = 2.25

Therefore, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 × 2.25 = 6.75 feet
