Answer:

2.4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the given diagram of two similar triangles one with actual dimensions and the other drawn on paper with a certain scale.

The ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles is always the same.

Now, 1.5 cm on the drawing is equivalent to 2.5 m i.e. 250 cm. in actual dimension.

So, 4 m i.e. 400 cm in actual dimension will be equivalent to [tex]\frac{1.5}{250} \times 400 = 2.4[/tex] cm. in the drawing. (Answer)
