W of base ____ 328 _______? _______?

Answer:

Model 1 :

Width of Base = 328 * 0.012 = 3.936 inch

Model 2 :

Height = 11.808 * 4 = 47.232 inches

Width of base = 4 * 3.936 = 15.744 inches

Explanation:

____________Eiffel Tower(ft) _ M 1 (in) _M2 (in)

Height _______ 984 ______11.808 ____?

W of base ____ 328 _______? _______?

Scale factor of Model 2 to Model 1 is 1/4

Model 1 : Model 2

1 : 4

The scale factor of actual tower to model 1

984ft = 11.808 inches

Hence,

1 ft = 11.808 / 984

1 ft = 0.012 inch

Model 1 :

Width of Base = 328 * 0.012 = 3.936 inch

Since ;

Model 1 : Model 2 ; 1 / 4

1 : 4

Model 2 :

Height = 11.808 * 4 = 47.232 inches

Width of base = 4 * 3.936 = 15.744 inches
