Question

Omar is making a scale model of the statue of liberty for a report on New York city. the statue of liberty is 305 feet tall measuring from the ground to the tip of the torch.If the model Is 1/100 the actual size of the Statue Of Liberty how tall th e model

Answer 1

It will be 1/100 times as tall, so divide 305 feet the height by 100 to get 3.05 feet.

Answer 2

For this case we have that the real height of the statue is given by:

305 feet

The relationship between the model and the real statue is:

$y = kx$

Where,

x: real height

y: height of the model

k: scale factor

Substituting values we have:

$y = (\frac{1}{100}) * (305)\\y = 3.05$

answer:

The size of the Statue of Liberty in the model is:

$y = 3.05 feet$
