Omar is making a scale model of the statue of liberty for a report on New York city. the statue of liberty is 305 feet tall measuring from the ground to the tip of the torch.If the model Is 1/100 the actual size of the Statue Of Liberty how tall th e model

Verified Answer :

It will be 1/100 times as tall, so divide 305 feet the height by 100 to get 3.05 feet.

For this case we have that the real height of the statue is given by:

305 feet

The relationship between the model and the real statue is:


\(y = kx
\)

Where,

x: real height

y: height of the model

k: scale factor

Substituting values we have:

\(y = (\frac{1}{100}) * (305)

y = 3.05
\)

answer:

The size of the Statue of Liberty in the model is:

\(y = 3.05 feet\)
