To find the height of the scale model in inches, we need to use the scale of 2 inches representing 8 feet.
First, calculate the scale factor by dividing the actual height of the Texas Capitol by the corresponding measurement in the scale:
312 feet / 8 feet = 39
Now, multiply the scale factor by the measurement in inches in the scale to find the height of the scale model in inches:
39 * 2 inches = 78 inches
Therefore, the height of the scale model of the Texas Capitol is 78 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.
