c.

An engineer uses a magnifying lens to inspect a trace on a circuit board.

  • The image height of the trace is 13.5 mm.
  • The magnification produced by the lens is 4.5.

Calculate the actual height of the trace. Use the equation:

magnification=image heightobject height \text{magnification} = \frac{\text{image height}}{\text{object height}} magnification=object heightimage height​
