Respuesta :
The height scale is 75
Solution:
Given that you are trying to enlarge an image that is 4 centimeters tall and 10 centimeters wide onto a billboard that is 3 meters tall and 8 meters wide
We have to find the height scale
From given information,
Height of original image = 4 cm
Height of enlarged image = 3 meters
Both the units are different.
Let us convert 4 cm to meter
Use the following conversion factor
1 cm = 0.01 meter
4 cm = 4 x 0.01 meter = 0.04 meter
What is the height scale?
Height scale is found by following:
[tex]height\ scale = \frac{height\ of\ enlarged\ image}{height\ of\ original\ image}[/tex]
[tex]height\ scale = \frac{3\ meter}{0.04\ meter}\\\\height scale = \frac{3}{0.04} = 75[/tex]
Thus height scale is 75
