Answer:

Her drawing is 15 cm

Explanation:

First we need to figure out how tall the object is. We can use proportions. Put drawing size over real life

1 cm 12 cm

------- = -----------

5 ft x ft

Using cross products

1*x = 12*5

x = 60 ft

In real life the statue is 60 ft

Now when Kia draws it 1 cm =4ft to xcm to 60 ft

1 cm x cm

------- = -----------

4 ft 60 ft

Using cross products

1*60 = 4x

60 =4x

Divide by 4

60/4 = 4x/4

15 =x

Her drawing is 15 cm
