On a scale drawing with a scale of 1/20, the height of the building is 8 inches. How tall is the actual building in feet?
Answer (2)
that means its downgraded to 1/20 of actual height, let actual height is x. Then (1/20) * x = 8, x = 20 * 8 = 160, actual height = 160 inch 160 inch = 160/12 feet = 13 1/3 feet or 13.333 feet.
The actual height of the building is approximately 13.33 feet when calculated from the scale drawing of 8 inches using a scale of 1/20. This involves multiplying the height on the drawing by 20 and converting the result from inches to feet. Therefore, the final answer is around 13.33 feet.
