In the scale used on a blueprint, 2 inches represents 30 feet.
On the blueprint, what is the height of a building with an actual height of 120 feet?
Responses
To find the height of the building on the blueprint, we can set up a proportion using the scale given:
2 inches / 30 feet = x inches / 120 feet
Cross-multiplying, we have:
2 * 120 = 30 * x
240 = 30x
Dividing both sides by 30:
x = 8
Therefore, the height of the building on the blueprint is 8 inches.
