Answer:

150 cm

Explanation:

So the scale is 2 cm on the blueprint = 3.5 meters in real life.

Basically you can just divide the height of the building by 3.5 meters:

259/3.5=75

There are 75, 3.5 meters in 259 meters

Since 3.5 meters on the print is 2 cm

You need to multiply the number of 3.5 meters by 2:

75*2=150

150 cm
