To find the height of the building, we need to convert the scale from inches to feet.
The scale is given as 1 inch : 9 feet.
Since the model is 27.5 inches tall, we can set up a proportion to solve for the height of the building.
1 inch / 9 feet = 27.5 inches / x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
x = 27.5 inches * 9 feet / 1 inch
x = 247.5 feet
Therefore, the height of the building is 247.5 feet.
A model of a building is 27.5 inches tall. The scale of the model is 1 inch colon 9
feet.
