Answer:

Explanation:

To find the height of the first level of the scale model of the Eiffel Tower in Shenzhen, we can use proportions.

The proportion can be set up as:

300 meters (Eiffel Tower) / 57 meters (First level of Eiffel Tower) = 108 meters (Scale model of Eiffel Tower) / x (Height of first level of the model)

Cross-multiplying, we get:

300 * x = 57 * 108

Simplifying:

300x = 6156

Dividing both sides by 300:

x = 6156 / 300

x ≈ 20.52

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the height of the first level of the model is approximately 20.5 meters.
