We have 2 triangles.

Large triangle:

Height= x

Lenght = 7

Small Triangle:

Height= 3

Lenght= 4

If we multiply any of the measures of the small triangle by the scale factor, we obtain the measure of the large triangle:

4 (scale factor) = 7

Solve for the scale factor:

scale factor = 7/4

Scale factor = 1.75

Multiply the height of the smaller triangle by the scale factor;

3 x 1.75 = 5.25 ft

Becky's Height = 5.25 ft
