Given: Patrick’s drawing uses a scale of 1 inch = 10 meters. Squidward made another scale drawing of the hotel with a scale of 2 cm = 40 meters.
To find: How tall is the hotel on Squidward’s drawing?
Formula: Height of the building = y × tan x + measurer's height
Solution: The height of the building is calculated by using the formula. y = distance of the measurer from the building. x = the angle measured from the clinometer.
