Answer:

h = 4.2

Explanation:

The large triangle beginning on the left has a height of 9. The small triangle has an unknown height of h almost in the middle of the of the base.

You can set up a proportion

9/h = 15/7 Cross multiply

15h = 9*7 Combine the right

15h = 63 Divide both sides by 15

15h/15 = 63/15

h = 4.2
