Answer :
The scale that was used in the model can be calculated by first converting the height of the model from feet to meter in order to have consistency in the units.
height of model = (4.2 ft)(1 m/3.28 ft) = 1.28 m
Since it is said that this corresponds to 525 m actual height of the skyscraper, the scale used was:
1.28 m: 525 m
or simply,
32:13125
height of model = (4.2 ft)(1 m/3.28 ft) = 1.28 m
Since it is said that this corresponds to 525 m actual height of the skyscraper, the scale used was:
1.28 m: 525 m
or simply,
32:13125
For this case we must take into account the following transformation of units:
1 meter = 3.28 feet
Applying the transformation of units we have:
[tex] (4.2feet)(\frac{1}{3.28}\frac{m}{feet}) = 1.28 m [/tex]
Thus, the scale used for the model is given by:
1.28:525
Answer:
The scale that was used to make the model is:
1.28:525
in meters
