To choose: The correct option that shows that helps to find the length of the model’s sides on the square base.
Answer to Problem 25STP
Option (B)
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The actual height of the Washington Monument is
Calculation:
To find the length of the model’s sides on the square base, determine the scale factor.
The scale factor is defined as the ratio of the length or size of the model to the length of the actual model.
From the figure, the scale factor can be determined by dividing the height of the monument to the height of the actual monument. Since the length of the base side of the monument is required.
Therefore, the length of the actual base side is required.
