Answer:


H = 59.4

Explanation:

The question is an illustration of dilation.

From the small shape, we have:


Body = 3


Height = 2.2

From the big shape, we have:


Body = 81

Height = ??

Because it is a dilation, the ratio of the bodies must be equal to the ratio of the heights

i.e.


Body_(Small) : Body_(Big) = Height_(Small) : Height_(Big)

Substitute the right values


3 : 81 = 2.2 : H

Express as fraction


(3)/(81) = (2.2)/(H)


(1)/(27) = (2.2)/(H)

Make H the subject


H = 2.2 * 27


H = 59.4

Hence, the height of the big shape is 59.4 units
