Answer:

The height of the larger window is 15.36 units.

Explanation:

Let the height of the larger window be h.

The width and height of smaller window are 5 and 8 respectively.

The width and height of smaller window are 9.6 and h respectively.

It is given that both windows are similar. The corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.

\frac{5}{9.6}=\frac{8}{h}

9.6

5

=

h

8

5h=8\times 9.65h=8×9.6

5h=76.85h=76.8

Divide both sides by 5.

h=\frac{76.8}{5}=15.36h=

5

76.8

=15.36

Therefore the height of the larger window is 15.36 units.
