To determine the actual height of the building from the dimensions of the model, we first need to establish the scale of the model based on the known width of the building.

The actual width of the building is 60 feet, and in the model, the width is represented as 2 cm. We can find the scale using the following formula:

\[ \text{Scale} = \frac{\text{Actual Width}}{\text{Model Width}} = \frac{60 \text{ ft}}{2 \text{ cm}} = 30 \text{ ft/cm} \]

This means that every 1 cm in the model represents 30 feet in actual measurement.

Next, we can use the model's height to calculate the actual height if we have that measurement. However, since the height of the model isn't provided in your question, we cannot directly compute the actual height without additional information.

If you have the height of the model, just multiply that height in cm by 30 ft/cm to find the actual height.

If you provide the height measurement in cm, I can help you with the calculation for the actual height.
