    L_original = 28.8 in

    H_original = 19.2 in

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    - Length of scaled rectangle L_scale = 18 in

    - width of the scaled rectangle H_scale = 12 in

    - Scale factor = (5/8)

    Find:

    -Which method can be used to find the dimensions of the original rectangle

    Solution:

    - The best way to determine the original dimensions of the rectangle is by ratios. We have the scale factor as (5/8). so we can express:

    L_scale = (5/8) * L_original

    L_original = L_scale * (8/5)

    L_original = 18 * (8/5) = 28.8 in

    H_scale = (5/8) * H_original

    H_original = H_scale * (8/5)

    H_original = 12 * (8/5) = 19.2 in

    - Hence, the original dimensions are:

    L_original = 28.8 in

    H_original = 19.2 in
