Question

Above are two different models of the same triangular-shaped garden. If the height of the model on the left is 15 cm, what is the height of the model on the right?

Answer 1

Answer: The height of the model on the right is 22.5 cm .

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that , the given different models of the same triangular-shaped garden are similar.

For the first model 1 cm = 3.75 m

whereas for the second model 1 cm = 2.5 m

Now , the constant rate of proportion for this (k) = $\dfrac{3.75}{2.5}=\dfrac{375}{250}=1.5$

Now , if height of the model on the left is 15 cm , then the height of the model on right = 15 x k

= 15 x 1.5

= 22.5 cm

Hence, the height of the model on the right is 22.5 cm .
