Answer: The height of the model on the right is 22.5 cm .

Explanation:

We can see that , the given different models of the same triangular-shaped garden are similar.

For the first model 1 cm = 3.75 m

whereas for the second model 1 cm = 2.5 m

Now , the constant rate of proportion for this (k) =
(3.75)/(2.5)=(375)/(250)=1.5

Now , if height of the model on the left is 15 cm , then the height of the model on right = 15 x k

= 15 x 1.5

= 22.5 cm

Hence, the height of the model on the right is 22.5 cm .
