Question

The smaller barn is similar to the larger barn by a scale factor of 60%. what are the height and width of the smaller barn? scale factor for a barn drawing

a. The height is 1.4 in., and the width is 1.4 in.
b. The height is 0.12 in., and the width is 0.12 in.
c. The height is 2 in., and the width is 1.2 in.
d. The height is 1.2 in., and the width is 1.2 in.

Answer 1

The height of the smaller barn is 2 in. and the width is 1.2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the dimensions of the smaller barn, we need to scale down the dimensions of the larger barn by a factor of 60%. Let's say the height of the larger barn is h and the width is w.

The height of the smaller barn would be 60% (or 0.60) of the height of the larger barn, so it would be 0.60h. The width of the smaller barn would also be 0.60w.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. The height is 2 in., and the width is 1.2 in.
