The height of the building = 588.8 feet
Explanation:
Height of scale model of a building =2.3feet
The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the building = 1:156
let the height of the model = h
let the height of the building = H
the ratio = h/H = 1/156
h = 2.3, H = ?
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2.3}{H}=\text{ }\frac{1}{256} \\ \text{Cross multiply: } \\ H(1)\text{ = 2.3}\times256 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]H\text{ = 588.8 feet}[/tex]Hence, the height of the building = H = 588.8 feet
