Answer:
The actual height of the glass is 10 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\because \text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Scaled measure}}{\text{Actual measure}}[/tex]
Given,
Actual measure = 2.5 cm and scaled measure = 2.5 cm,
So, by the above formula,
[tex]\text{Scale factor}=\frac{2.5}{2}=1.25[/tex]
Now, scaled measure = 8,
[tex]\implies 1.25=\frac{8}{\text{actual measure}}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \text{actual measure}= 8\times 1.25 = 10\text{ cm}[/tex]
Hence, the actual height of the glass is 10 cm.
