Answer 1

Given: The scale used for model is 2 cm: 3 m.

We will solve this using the Unitary Method.

Since 3 m of Staue of Liberty is taken as 2 cm on Leo's model, therefore 1 m of Staue of Liberty will be taken as 2/3 cm on Leo's mode. Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ m of Statue of Liberty=}(2)/(3)\text{ cm of model} \\ \text{Actual Height of Statue of Liberty=93 m} \\ 93\text{ m of statue of Liberty=}(2)/(3)*93=62\text{ cm of model} \end{gathered}`

Thus, Leo's model will be 62 cm tall.
