Question

An engineer scale model shows a building that is 3 inches tall. If the scale is 1 inch = 600 feet, how tall is the actual building in feet ?

Answer 1

The actual height of building is 1800 feet.

Explanation:

Given,

Height of building in model = 3 inches

Scale used by engineer;

1 inch = 600 feet

Therefore;

Actual height of building = Height in model * Scale used

Actual height of building = 3 * 600

Actual height of building = 1800 feet

The actual height of building is 1800 feet.
