By finding the scale factor as a quotient of the two given widths, we will see that the new height is 7.7 in

How to get the new height?

We assume that the height and the width are reduced by the same scale factor.

Such that the scale factor is given by the quotient between the new width and the original width, so we have:

k = 5.4in/32.7in = 0.1651

Then the new height will be the original height times the above number, which gives:

H =  0.1651*46.5 in = 7.7 in

We conclude that the new height of the painting is 7.7 inches.
