In the scale used on a blueprint, 2 inches represents 30 feet.
On the blueprint, what is the height of a building with an actual height of 120 feet?
To find the height of the building on the blueprint, you first need to determine the scale factor.
1. 2 inches on the blueprint represents 30 feet in reality.
2. Divide the actual height of the building (120 feet) by the scale factor:
120 feet ÷ 30 feet = 4
3. Multiply the scale factor by the measurement on the blueprint to find the height on the blueprint:
2 inches (blueprint measurement) x 4 = 8 inches
Therefore, the height of the building on the blueprint is 8 inches.
