Answer: 5.44 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the dimensions of two similar figures are proportional .

Let h be the height of the larger window.

Given : The two windows shown are similar .

The smaller window is 5 feet by 4 feet .

the larger Windows 6.8 feet by h feet.

So by proportionality , we have

$\dfrac{5}{4}=\dfrac{6.8}{h}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\dfrac{6.8\times4}{5}=5.44$

Hence, the height of the larger window is 5.44 feet.
