Answer:

Projected height = (85 *21) / 35 = 51 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the images are similar, we can set up the proportional equation like this:

Slide width / Slide height = Projected width / Projected height

35 mm / 21 mm = 85 cm / Projected height (in cm)

Projected height = (85 *21) / 35 = 51 cm
