To find the actual height of the space shuttle from the model height, we can use the scale provided: 1 centimeter on the model represents 6 meters in reality.
Given:
- Height of the model = 9.35 cm
- Scale = 1 cm : 6 m
To find the actual height, we can multiply the height of the model by the scale factor (in meters): \[ \text{Actual height} = \text{Model height} \times \text{Scale factor} \] \[ \text{Actual height} = 9.35 , \text{cm} \times 6 , \text{m/cm} \] \[ \text{Actual height} = 56.1 , \text{m} \]
Therefore, the actual height of the space shuttle is 56.1 meters.
The correct answer is B. 56.1 m.
