Answer:

  • k = 2/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans

  • Average height = 69 in
  • Ceiling height = 108 in

Trolls

  • Average height = 6 in
  • Ceiling height = x

The scale factor to work out the value of x:

  • k = 6/69 =2/23

The value of x would be:

  • x = 108k = 108*2/23 = 9.39 in

Scale factor for average human height

  • 6/69
  • 2/23

Now

  • Scale factor for ceiling height (Let unknown be x)=x/108

So

  • x/108=2/23
  • x=108(2/3)
  • x=9.4in
