Question

43.5
435
4,350
43,500

Answer 1

To find the height of the real statue, you need to multiply the height on the scale drawing by the scale factor.

The height on the drawing is 4.35 centimeters, and the real statue is 100 times larger:

\[ \text{Real Height} = \text{Scale Height} \times \text{Scale Factor} \] \[ \text{Real Height} = 4.35 , \text{cm} \times 100 \] \[ \text{Real Height} = 435 , \text{cm} \]

So, the height of the real statue is 435 centimeters.
