Answer:

The height of the glass in the actual is 10 cm

Explanation:

we know that

The scale of the drawing is


(2)/(2.5)(units)/(cm)

That means ------> 2 units in the drawing represent 2.5 cm in the actual

Find out the height of the glass in the actual

using proportion

Let

x -----> the height of the glass in the actual


(2)/(2.5)(units)/(cm)=(8)/(x)(units)/(cm)\\ \\ x=2.5*8/2\\ \\ x=10\ cm

therefore

The height of the glass in the actual is 10 cm
