An architect is using 3-D modeling software to help design a new business tower to be constructed on a square plot of land. Whil
e inspecting the overall model, the architect zooms out to a point where the modeled building is 120 pixels tall and 20 pixels wide. If the square plot of land allotted to the construction of the building measures 250 feet on each side, how tall will the building be?
Assuming the building is a regular rectangular prism, then we can just look at the scale. The building is 120 pixels tall and 20 pixels wide. The plot is 250 feet wide. 120 is 6 times larger than 20 so the assumed scale factor is 6. So 250 * 6 = 1500. The building should be 1500 feet tall.
