Question

The two windows shown are similar. What is the height of the larger window? the smaller one is 5 by 8 and the bigger one is 9.6 by the height

Answer 1

The answer is 5.44

Explanation:

Answer 2

The height of the larger window is 15.36 units.

Explanation:

Let the height of the larger window be h.

The width and height of smaller window are 5 and 8 respectively.

The width and height of smaller window are 9.6 and h respectively.

It is given that both windows are similar. The corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.

`(5)/(9.6)=(8)/(h)`

`5h=8* 9.6`

`5h=76.8`

Divide both sides by 5.

`h=(76.8)/(5)=15.36`

Therefore the height of the larger window is 15.36 units.
