In the scale used on a blueprint, 1
4 inch represents 5 feet.
On the blueprint, what is the height of a building with an actual height of 55 feet?
To find the height of the building on the blueprint, we can set up a proportion with the given scale.
Let x represent the height of the building on the blueprint.
Using the proportion:
1 inch / 4 inches = 5 feet / 55 feet
Cross multiplying, we have:
55 feet * 1 inch = 4 inches * 5 feet
55 inches = 20 feet
Therefore, the height of the building on the blueprint is 20 inches.
