To find the height of the building on the blueprint, we need to use the scale provided.
In the scale, it states that 1/4 inch represents 5 feet. To find the height of the building, we can set up a proportion:
1/4 inch / 5 feet = x inch / 55 feet
Cross multiplying, we get:
5 feet * x inch = 1/4 inch * 55 feet
Simplifying, we have:
5x = 1/4 * 55
Multiplying both sides by 4:
20x = 55
Dividing both sides by 20:
x = 55/20
Simplifying, x = 11/4
Therefore, on the blueprint, the height of the building is 11/4 inches.
