Ruth and her brothers want to build their own bowling alley at home. The bowling pin
setup is in the shape of an equilateral triangle. They sketch a drawing of the setup such
that 1 inch represents 3 inches in an actual pin setup.
The dimensions of the actual pin setup in a bowling alley are:
• The base length is 36 inches,
• The height is 31.2 inches.
