A scale drawing of a building needs to be made using the scale 1 in = 170 ft. How tall will the building in the scale drawing be if the building is 1020 ft tall

The answer is 6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the building needs 1020 ft. and 1 in. = 170 ft. then divide 1020 by 170 and you'll get 6 in.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
