Question

The drawing of the building, shown below, has a scale of 1 inch to 30 feet. What is the actual height, in feet, of the building?

Answer 1

Answer:

Actual height of the building is 37.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used to get the actual length of the building,

Scale used = $\frac{\text{Dimension of image (on map)}}{\text{Dimension of actual}}$ = $\frac{1}{30}$

By this formula,

$\frac{1.25}{\text{Actual height}}=\frac{1}{30}$

Actual height of the building = 1.25 × 30

                                               = 37.5 feet

Therefore, actual height of the building will be 37.5 feet.
