Answer: 5.44 feet

Explanation:

We know that the dimensions of two similar figures are proportional .

Let h be the height of the larger window.

Given : The two windows shown are similar .

The smaller window is 5 feet by 4 feet .

the larger Windows 6.8 feet by h feet.

So by proportionality , we have

$(5)/(4)=(6.8)/(h)\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=(6.8*4)/(5)=5.44$

Hence, the height of the larger window is 5.44 feet.
