A movie poster shows King Kong towering over an adult human. On the poster, King Kong measures 42cm, while the human measures 5 cm. How tall is King Kong supposed to be, to the nearest foot?
no way to tell. How tall is the human?
To determine King Kong's supposed height to the nearest foot, we need to use the scale depicted on the movie poster. According to the poster, King Kong measures 42cm, while the adult human measures 5cm.
First, let's find the conversion factor from centimeters to feet. There are 30.48 centimeters in 1 foot. Therefore, we can calculate the human's height in feet:
5 cm ÷ 30.48 cm/ft = 0.164 ft (rounded to three decimal places)
Next, we need to determine the height of King Kong using the same scale. Since King Kong measures 42cm, we can calculate King Kong's height in feet:
42 cm ÷ 30.48 cm/ft = 1.378 ft (rounded to three decimal places)
Hence, according to the movie poster's scale, King Kong is supposed to be approximately 1.378 feet tall.
