Answer:

45 inches

Explanation:

If the larger rectangle is 72, then you divide it by 8 because that is the ratio of the bigger rectangle. 72/8 = 9 so that means that the scale value of the shapes is 9 because they are proportional. So, you multiply 9 time 5 to get 45 which is the smaller rectangle.
