Question

the architect wants to build a scale model of a building that is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The building has a height of 45 ft., a width of 90 ft., and a length of 300 ft. The scale model is 10% of the size of the building based on its length and width, so the length of the scale model is and the width of the scale model is

Answer 1

Height- 4.5 ft

Width- 9 ft

Length- 30 ft

Explanation:

Since the scale model is 1/10th (or 10%) of the actual building, you can divide each value given by 10. That's the way I think about it, but what I'm really doing is just multiplying it by the scale factor of 10%, which has the decimal value of 0.1.

I hope this helped!
