An architect is making a scale model of a building. the model is 18.5 inches wide and 36.5 inches tall. if the actual building is 370 feet wide, what's its height?

The height of the building is 730 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

370 x 12 = 4,440 inches

4,440 ÷ 18.5 = 240 inches

240 x 36.5 = 8,760 inches = 730 feet

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
