To find the height of the scale model in inches, we first need to determine the scale factor. We are told that 2 inches represents 8 feet, which is equivalent to a scale factor of 8 feet / 2 inches = 4 feet per inch.
Next, we multiply the actual height of the Texas Capitol by the scale factor to find the height of the scale model in inches:
312 feet * 4 feet/inch = 1248 inches
So, the height of the scale model of the Texas Capitol is 1248 inches.
Sal and Zack built a scale model of the Texas Capitol using a scale in which 2 inches represents 8 feet. The height of the Texas Capitol is 312 feet.
