A pyramid is 24 feet tall a scaled model has a height of 2 ft and is 1 foot wide at the base. Identify the scale factor that was used to create the model. Multiple Choice Answers:
1/12
1/24
12
24

I believe it is 1/12. Hope this helped!

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Actual height of pyramid = 24 ft

Dimension of scaled model :

Height = 2ft ; width = 1ft

a scale factor is a number used to reproduce a reduced dimension of a model by multiplying the actual dimeznsion or size of the model or object.

Since the height is of the scaled model is less than the actual height of the pyramid ; then it could be said that the scale factor is a fraction, because reduction has occurred.

(Height of scaled model / height of actual pyramid)

(2ft / 24ft) = 1/12

we know that

applying the law of sines

°

so

∠j=18°

∠k=29°

∠l=180-(18+29)=133°

the answer part a) is

the measure of angle k is  ≈29°

part b)  the measure of angle k could also be

(180-29)=151°

so

∠j=18°

∠k=151°

∠l=180-(18+151)=11°

the answer part b) is

the measure of angle k could also be 151°
