Question

Joey built a model sailboat that is similar to his real sailboat. The triangular sail on his real boat has a base of 30 feet. If the height of the sail on his model boat is 1 foot and the base is 1.25 feet, what is the height of the sail on his real boat?

Answer 1

24 feet

Explanation:

30 : 1.25 = x : 1

x = 30 / 1.25

x = 24
