Answer:
The height of the scale model is of 91.14 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale problems are solved by proportions, using rule of three.
A scale model of a building has a scale of 3 : 79.
This means that 3m on the drawing represent 79m of real height.
The height of the real building is 24 m.
3m - 79m
xm - 24m
Applying cross multiplication
[tex]79x = 72[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{72}{79}[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.9114[/tex]
In centimeters:
Multiplying by 100:
0.9114*100 = 91.14 cm.
