I chose the Eiffel Tower as a model. the ratio I will use is 1:100. This means that every centimeter of the model will correspond to 100 centimeters of the real Eiffel Tower.
To determine the dimensions of these items, I will use a calculator. Since my scale factor is 1:100, I can simply divide the actual measurements by 100 to get the appropriate measurements for my model. the current height of the Eiffel Tower is 324 meters, so the height of my model would be 324/100 = 3.24 meters. Similarly, if one of the Eiffel Tower arches is 10 meters long, then the length of the corresponding arch on my model will be 10/100 = 0.1 meters.
The specific math skills I will need to create the project include understanding scale factors and proportions,
To accurately calculate some dimensions, I may have to turn to sources that provide exact data and dimensions.
