State the real life figure you will model and the scale factor, identify 2 significant items on your model and explain how you will determine the calculations and dimensions for these items to make them similar to the actual items?
I will model the Statue of Liberty, with a scale factor of 1 inch representing 50 feet.
Two significant items on my model will be the torch and the tablet held in the statue's left hand. To determine the calculations and dimensions for these items to make them similar to the actual items, I will first research the exact dimensions of the torch and tablet on the real Statue of Liberty. I will then use the scale factor to calculate the appropriate dimensions for my model. For example, if the torch on the real statue is 305 feet tall, I would divide that by 50 to get 6.1 inches for the height of the torch on my model. Similarly, if the tablet on the real statue is 27 feet tall, I would divide that by 50 to get 0.54 inches for the height of the tablet on my model. By applying the scale factor to these measurements, I can ensure that the torch and tablet on my model are accurate representations of the real items on the Statue of Liberty.
