Step-by-step explanation:
See comment for complete question
Represent the larger triangle with 1 and the smaller with 2.
So, we have:
[tex]H_1 =6\ in[/tex] -- height of 1
Required
Determine H2 --- Height of 2
To do this we apply dilation formula.
[tex]Original * Scale\ Factor = New[/tex]
In this case:
[tex]H_1 * Scale\ Factor = H_2[/tex]
Substitute 6 for H1 and 0.8 for Scale Factor
[tex]6* 0.8 = H_2[/tex]
[tex]4.8= H_2[/tex]
Hence, the height of the smaller triangle is 4.8 inches
