The model of the building, which has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, is made on a scale of 1: 350

The model of the building, which has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, is made on a scale of 1: 350. Dimensions of the building model: length – 9 cm, width – 5 cm, height – 25 cm. What are the dimensions of the building?

Since it is known that the scale of the layout is 1: 350, this means that all dimensions of the layout are 350 times smaller than the original design. Thus, we determine the length, in reality it will be 350 times larger:

1) 9 * 350 = 3150 (cm);

the width will be:

2) 5 * 350 = 1750 (cm);

the height will be equal to:

3) 25 * 350 = 8750 (cm).

Let’s translate the obtained values into meters:

since 1 m = 100 cm, then 3150 cm = 31.5 m, 1750 cm = 17.5 m, 8750 cm = 87.5 m.

Answer: the parameters of the building are as follows – length 31.5 m, width 17.5 m, height 87.5 m.
