The surface area of the tower is 5,218.1 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Height of the blueprint = 47 cm
Length of the blueprint = 23 cm
Width of the blueprint = 25 cm
Scale factor 1 : 96
2. Calculate the actual surface area of the tower and enter your answer in square meters with two decimal places.
Let's calculate the measurements of the actual tower:
Height of the blueprint = 47 * 96 = 4,512 cm = 45.12 m
Length of the blueprint = 23 * 96 = 2,208 cm = 22.08 m
Width of the blueprint = 25 * 96 = 2,400 cm = 24 m
Now, let's calculate the surface area of the tower, this way:
Surface area of the tower = 2* (24 * 22.08) + 2 * (45.12 * 22.08) + 2 * (45.12 * 24)
Surface area of the tower = 1,059.84 + 1,992.5 + 2,165.76
Surface area of the tower = 5,218.1 m²
