Answer:

3 feet.

Explanation:

Solve

  • Set up a proportion using the given information for the turbine and its model.

C /d

=

C /d

  • Set up a proportion.

264 /84 =

9/ d

  • Substitute the given values.

264 ÷ 28

84 ÷ 28 ≈

9/ d

Since 264 divided by 28 is approximately 9, divide 84 by 28 to find the value of d.

264 /84 ≈

9 /3

d ≈ 3

The diameter of the model is approximately 3 feet.
