The height is 1.4 in. and the width is 1.4.

The height is 0.12 in.and the width is 0.12 in.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1.2 in by 1.2 in

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is 1.

Explanation:

The height and width of larger barn is 2 in. and 2 in respectively.

It is given that the smaller barn is similar to the larger barn by a scale factor of 60%. It means the height and width of the smaller barn is 60% of the height and width of the larger barn.

The height of smaller barn is

`2* (60)/(100)=(120)/(100)=1.2`

The width of smaller barn is

`2* (60)/(100)=(120)/(100)=1.2`

Therefore the height and width of smaller barn is 1.2 in. and 1.2 in respectively. Option 1 is correct.
