Solution :
GIven, An architect builds a scale model of a skyscraper for a land development proposal. The model is 2 feet tall. The scale of the model is 1 in : 12.3 meters.
We know that , 1 foot = 12 inch
Height of model =[tex]2 \: feet = 2 \times 12\:inch = 24 \: inch[/tex]
Scale of the Model is = 1 inch : 12.3 meters, which means 1 inch of the model measures 12.3 meters of the skyscraper.
So, Total Height of the proposed skyscraper = [tex]24 \times 12.3 meters = 295.2 meters.[/tex]
Hence, the proposed skyscraper is 295.2 meters tall.
