The height of Atlas V rocket used for space lifts was 205 feet. What is the height of a model of Atlas V rocket if the scale factor is 1 ft : 32 ft?

Respuesta :

Answer: 6.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Atlas V rocket = 205 feet

Ratio of the model = 1:32 = 1/32

Model / Real = 1/32

Since Real height = 205, we put it into the equation and this will be:

Model / Real = 1/32

Model / 205 = 1/32

Model × 32 = 205 × 1

Model = 205/32

Model = 6.4 feet

The height of the model is 6.4 feet.
