is 100 times larger. How tall is the real statue in centimeters?

Answer 1

To find the height of the real statue, you can simply multiply the length of the statue on Finn's drawing by the scale factor.

The length of the statue in the drawing is 4.35 centimeters, and since the real statue is 100 times larger, you calculate it as follows:

\[ \text{Height of the real statue} = \text{Height in drawing} \times \text{Scale factor} \] \[ \text{Height of the real statue} = 4.35 , \text{cm} \times 100 \] \[ \text{Height of the real statue} = 435 , \text{cm} \]

So, the real statue is 435 centimeters tall.
