Answer:

The correct answer option is 37.5 feet.

Explanation:

We are given that a building (shown in the diagram) has a scale of 1 inch to 30 feet.

Given the above information, we are to find the actual height of the building.

To find this, we will use the ratio method.


\frac {1 inch} {30feet} = \frac {1.25 inch} {x}


x = 37.5

Therefore, the actual height of the building shown is 37.5 feet.
