A model train is a scale model created from actual measurements. The scale factor for HO or Half Zero model trains is 1:87. A typical engine is 50mm in height and 200mm in length. Determine the actual dimensions of the train engine. Help Please
Waht is 87*50mm?
4350mm
9x² + 30x = 32
To determine the actual dimensions of the train engine, you'll need to use the scale factor of 1:87. This means that every unit of measurement in the model train is equivalent to 87 units in the actual size.
In this case, the model train engine has a height of 50mm and a length of 200mm. To find the actual dimensions, you can multiply these measurements by the scale factor.
To find the actual height:
Actual Height = Model Height x Scale Factor
Actual Height = 50mm x 87 = 4350mm
Therefore, the actual height of the train engine is 4350mm.
To find the actual length:
Actual Length = Model Length x Scale Factor
Actual Length = 200mm x 87 = 17400mm
Therefore, the actual length of the train engine is 17400mm.
So, the actual dimensions of the train engine are a height of 4350mm and a length of 17400mm.
