Given: A larger triangle has a base of 10 inches and height of 6 inches.
To find: The height of the reduced triangle?
Solution:
- Now we have given a triangle which has a base of 10 inches and height of 6 inches.
- Another triangle is given but it is not to the scale.
- We have provided that a reduction of a triangle by using a scale factor of 0.8, means a new triangle has sides reduced by the factor of 0.8
- So:
the height is 6 inches of original triangle.
The height of new triangle will be:
6 x 0.8 = 4.8 inches
Answer:
So the height of the reduced triangle is 4.8 inches.
