It says a triangle is 18 inches wide and 3 inches tall.
\n" ); document.write( " if it is reduced to a width of 6 inches then how tall will it be?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If the triangles are similar (same angles) the relationship between the sides
\n" ); document.write( "remains the same; let h = the height of the reduced triangle
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2F3\" = \"6%2Fh\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "18h = 18
\n" ); document.write( "h = 1 inch tall
\n" ); document.write( "
