The height of a tower on a scale drawing is 14 centimeters. The scale is 2 cm : 29 m. What is the actual height of the tower?

Answer 1

Answer:

203 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion and solve it.

drawing size     :     real size

      14 cm          :           x

       2 cm          :          29 m

14/x = 2/29

2x = 14 × 29

x = 7 × 29

x = 203

Answer: 203 m
