The correct Answer is:
To find the actual dimensions of the building from the model dimensions given a scale factor, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert all dimensions to the same unit The dimensions of the model are given as: - Length = 1.2 m - Breadth = 75 cm - Height = 2 m First, we need to convert the breadth from centimeters to meters. We know that: 1 meter = 100 centimeters So, we can convert 75 cm to meters: \[ 75 \text{ cm} = \frac{75}{100} \text{ m} = 0.75 \text{ m} \] Now, the dimensions of the model in meters are: - Length = 1.2 m - Breadth = 0.75 m - Height = 2 m ### Step 2: Use the scale factor to find actual dimensions The scale factor is given as 1:30, which means: \[ \text{Scale Factor} = \frac{\text{Length of model}}{\text{Length of building}} = \frac{1}{30} \] From this, we can express the actual dimensions of the building as: \[ \text{Length of building} = \text{Length of model} \times 30 \] \[ \text{Breadth of building} = \text{Breadth of model} \times 30 \] \[ \text{Height of building} = \text{Height of model} \times 30 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the actual dimensions 1. **Length of the building**: \[ \text{Length of building} = 1.2 \text{ m} \times 30 = 36 \text{ m} \] 2. **Breadth of the building**: \[ \text{Breadth of building} = 0.75 \text{ m} \times 30 = 22.5 \text{ m} \] 3. **Height of the building**: \[ \text{Height of building} = 2 \text{ m} \times 30 = 60 \text{ m} \] ### Final Result The actual dimensions of the building are: - Length = 36 m - Breadth = 22.5 m - Height = 60 m Thus, the dimensions of the new building are: \[ 36 \text{ m} \times 22.5 \text{ m} \times 60 \text{ m} \] ---
