The reduction factor of 0.8 means the lengths in the reduced triangle are 0.8 times those of the original.

Then the original 6 inch length is reduced to 0.8×6 inches = 4.8 inches in the reduced triangle.

Answer:

4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factors are used to convert a figure into another one with similar characteristics but different lengths, in this example is a triangle, and in order to calculate the measure of the height you just have to multiply the original height by the scale factor:

6 inches * scale factor

6 inches* 0.8= 4.8 inches

So the resultant triangle will have a height of 4.8 inches.
