Answer:

2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since his actual height was 4 feet and 2 inches, instead of the estimate of 4 feet, the difference was 2 inches.

This means the error in inches was also 2 inches, since the estimated height was 2 inches lower than the one at the doctor's office.

An architect planned to construct two similar stone pyramid structures in a park. The figure below shows the front view of the p

Sav [38]

Since the architect wants similar figures, it comes from the definition of similar triangles that the ratio of corresponding sides (all 3 sides) should be equal.

So,

$\frac{7.5}{6}= \frac{5}{4}= \frac{10}{CB}$ .

Let's find CB.

$\frac{7.5}{6} =\frac{5}{4}= \frac{10}{CB}\\ 1.25=1.25=\frac{10}{CB}\\ 1.25=\frac{10}{CB}\\ 1.25CB=10\\CB=\frac{10}{1.25}\\ CB=8$

So, CB should be 8. Option C is correct.

ANSWER: Change the length of side CB to 8 feet
