    The height doesn't include the antenna

    rato and protoprion

    height:antana=1454:253=1454/253

    1454/253=9/x

    cross multiply and solve for x

    1454x=2277

    divide both sides by 1454

    x=1.56602

    round

    x=1.57

    answer is 3rd option, 1.57 inches

    Ok so im not a math expert but i can tell you they are spliting the antenas by the same as the towers. you devide original size by 9 and thats simplest form to see how much an inch shows per inch. but for full answer you add the amounts together 9 times (the amounts you got after deviding of course) ill let you do that math from there ... thats how i got my answer ... but im just going off my work. so i hope im correct im confadent i am.
