The units of actual heights are measured in meters, thus we can say that the actual height of the building is 670 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
In the question it has been given that
Actual height of Ferris wheel = 134 m.
Height of Ferris wheel using the scale = 0.65 cm
Height of building after using the scale - 3.25 cm
Step 2
Let us assume that the actual height of building be x meters.
Since, we are making use of the same scale, the ratio of actual heights to that of scaled down heights is the same for both objects.
It means that ,
Ratio of Actual Height to scale height of Ferris Wheel = Ratio of Actual Height to scale height of the building
Step 3
Substituting the values, we get:
[tex]134:0.65=x:3.25\\134/0.65=x/3.25\\134/0.65*3.25=x\\x=670[/tex]
Step 4
Thus we can say that the actual height of the building is 670 m
