Answer:

The answer is 20 cm.

Explanation:

From the scale, we know that 1 cm in the model represents 6 meters in the actual building.

So, h cm in the model represents 6h meters in the actual building.

The actual building is 120 meters tall, so 6h = 120 meters.

Dividing both sides by 6, we get:

h = 20 cm.

Therefore, the height of the model is 20 cm.
