The ratio of actual height to the scaled height is 3 meters : 2 centimeters.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the scaled height:
actual height / scaled height = 3 meters / 2 centimeters
Substituting the given values, we get:
12 meters / scaled height = 3 meters / 2 centimeters
Cross-multiplying, we get:
12 meters x 2 centimeters = 3 meters x scaled height
Simplifying, we get:
scaled height = (12 meters x 2 centimeters) / (3 meters)
scaled height = 24 centimeters / 3
scaled height = 8 centimeters
Therefore, the scale drawing is 8 centimeters tall.
