A satellite is 18 m wide a model of the satellite was built with a scale of 1 cm to 3 m how wide is the model
The width of the model can be calculated by converting the width of the actual satellite from meters to centimeters using the scale factor.
Actual width of satellite: 18 m
Scale factor: 1 cm to 3 m
Convert 18 m to centimeters:
18 m = 18 * 100 cm = 1800 cm
Calculate the width of the model using the scale factor:
Width of model = Actual width / Scale factor
Width of model = 1800 cm / 3
Width of model = 600 cm
Therefore, the width of the model of the satellite is 600 cm.
