the scale model of a building is 5.4ft tall. if the original building is 810 meters tall what was the scale used to make the model
5.4/810(converted to feet) = ?
1m = 3.28 feet
I really don't know and don't really care
To find the scale used to make the model, we can use the ratio between the height of the model and the height of the original building.
The height of the scale model is given as 5.4ft, and the height of the original building is 810 meters.
First, we need to convert the height of the original building to feet, so that we have the same unit of measurement for both values.
Since 1 meter is approximately 3.28084 feet, we can multiply the height of the original building by this conversion factor:
810 meters * 3.28084 feet/meter = 2657.88 feet
Now, we can calculate the scale by dividing the height of the model by the height of the original building:
Scale = Height of model / Height of original building
= 5.4 feet / 2657.88 feet
By simplifying the fraction, we can see that the scale used to make the model is approximately 1:492.2.
Therefore, the scale used to make the model is 1:492.2.
