Chapter 13.1, Problem 35SPR

To determine

Find the dimensions of actual Basilica Di San Pietro model.

Answer to Problem 35SPR

  $height=130meters,width=245meters,length=465meters$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The Basilica Di San Pietro model was build to a $1:5$ scale and was a rectangular prism that measured $26$ meters high, $49$ meters wide and $93$ meters long.

Calculation:

A model was build to a $1:5$ scale, for every one meter of the model, the corresponding measurement of the building itself is $5$ times that meter.

The model dimentions are,

  $26$ Meters high, $49$ meters wide and $93$ meters long,

So,

  $26\left(5\right)=130,49\left(5\right)=245,93\left(5\right)=465$

Hence,

  $height=130meters,width=245meters,length=465meters$ .
