You use a scale of 1 inch = 280 feet to build a model of the great Pyramid of Giza. The width of the base of the pyramid is 756 feet. What is the width of your model?
A. 27 in.
B. 0.37 in.
C. 3.7 in.
D. 2.7 in.
To find the width of the model, you would divide the actual width of the base of the pyramid by the scale factor:
756 feet / 280 feet = 2.7 inches
Therefore, the width of your model would be 2.7 inches.
So, the answer is D. 2.7 in.
