In the scale used on able print 1/4 in represents 5 ft on the blueprint what is the height of the building with an actual height of 55 ft
11 and 1/2 in
2 and 3/4 in
3 and 3/4 in
5 1/4 in
To find the height of the building on the blueprint, we can set up a proportion:
1/4 inch / 5 ft = x inches / 55 ft
Cross-multiplying:
5 ft * x inches = 1/4 inch * 55 ft
Simplifying,
5x = 55/4
Dividing both sides by 5:
x = (55/4) / 5
x = 55/20
x = 11/4 = 2 and 3/4 inches
Therefore, the height of the building on the blueprint is 2 and 3/4 inches.
