Simon makes a model of a boat, using a scale of 1 : 30 If the model has a height of 40 cm, find the height of the real boat.

Give your answer in metres.

12 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor used for the model is 1 : 30.

This means that for any 1cm on the model, the real boat would be 30 cm.

If the height is 40 cm on the model, the real boat will be 30 times that:

= 40 * 30

= 1,200 cm

A metre is equivalent to 100cm.

1,200 cm would therefore be:

= 1,200/100

= 12 metres

step-by-step explanation: the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen (french: déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789), set by france's national constituent assembly in 1789, is a human civil rights document from the french revolution.[1]

the declaration was drafted by the abbé sieyès and the marquis de lafayette, in consultation with thomas jefferson.[2] influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. it became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law. it is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the fourth french republic (1946) and fifth republic (1958) and is still current. inspired by the enlightenment philosophers, the declaration was a core statement of the values of the french revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in europe and worldwide.[3]

the 1789 declaration, together with the 1215 magna carta, the 1689 english bill of rights (1689), the 1776 united states declaration of independence, and the 1789 united states bill of rights, inspired in large part the 1948 united nations universal declaration of human rights
