The scale 1 in 120ft was created a 169.3 tall model of Alaska's Mount McKinely.Estimate the height of Mount McKinley from the height of the model.
1/120 = 169.3/x
Solve for x.
To estimate the height of Mount McKinley from the height of the model using the given scale, you can use the following formula:
Height of Mount McKinley = Height of Model × Scale
Using the given information:
Height of Model = 169.3 ft
Scale = 1 in 120 ft
First, let's convert the scale to the same units as the model's height. Since the scale is given in inches, we need to convert it to feet:
1 in = 1/12 ft (since there are 12 inches in a foot)
Now we can calculate the height of Mount McKinley:
Height of Mount McKinley = 169.3 ft × (1/12 ft/in) × 120 ft/1
Height of Mount McKinley = 169.3 ft × 10 ft
Height of Mount McKinley = 1693 ft
Therefore, the estimated height of Mount McKinley from the height of the model is 1693 feet.
