The Louvre Pyramid in Paris, France, has the same proportions as the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The width of the Louvre Pyramid is 35.42 meters, and the width of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 0.23033 kilometers.

What is the scale factor of the Louvre Pyramid? Round to the nearest hundredth.

.23033 Km = 230.33 m

35.42: 230.33

thats wrong...

1.50 scale factor

1:6.50

To find the scale factor of the Louvre Pyramid, we need to compare its width to the width of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The width of the Louvre Pyramid is given in meters, so we need to convert the width of the Great Pyramid of Giza from kilometers to meters to have matching units.

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

Therefore, the width of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 0.23033 kilometers * 1000 meters/kilometer = 230.33 meters.

Now that we have both widths in meters, we can find the scale factor by dividing the width of the Louvre Pyramid by the width of the Great Pyramid of Giza:

Scale factor = Width of Louvre Pyramid / Width of Great Pyramid of Giza
= 35.42 meters / 230.33 meters

Calculating this division gives us a scale factor of approximately 0.1537.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the scale factor of the Louvre Pyramid is 0.15.
