Tricia has a miniature replica of the Empire State Building.The replica is 10 inches tall and the height of its observation deck is 8.3 inches.if the actual height of the Empire State Building is 1454 feet about how tall is the actual observation deck?

Answer 1

The actual height of the observation deck is 1206.82 ft

Explanation:

Let h be the height of the building

And d be the height of the observation deck

Therefore,

d/h = 8.3/10 = 0.83

d = 0.83h

Given that h = 1454 ft

d = 0.83 × 1454 ft

d = 1206.82 ft
