Question

A scale model of a building has a height of 18 inches and a length of 14 inches. The height of the real building Is 360 ft. What is the lenght of the real building?
Enter answer in the box.

Answer 1

For this case, the first thing to do is find the scale factor.
 Using the measure of height we have:
 k = (360) / (18 * (1/12))
 k = 240
 Thus, the length of the building is:
 (14 * (1/12)) * (240) = 280 feet
 Answer:
 The lenght of the real building is:
 280 feet
