FAQs

How do you calculate the actual height of the student in the provided scale drawing?

Since the tree's scale height of 7 cm corresponds to an actual height of 4.2 meters, you determine the scale factor by dividing 4.2 by 7 to find that 1 cm represents 0.6 meters. By multiplying the student's scale height of 2.5 cm by this 0.6 conversion factor, you arrive at an actual height of 1.5 meters.
