Me with this question the empire state building is 1454 ft tall and 424 feet long. you want to make a scale drawing of the building on an 8 ½ by 11 in. sheet of paper, and you decide to use the scale 1 in = 100 ft. is this a reasonable scale? explain..

For this case, the first thing we must do is use the given scale to find the new dimensions of the Empire State.
 We have then:
 1454/100 = 14.54 in
 424/100 = 4.24 in
 we observed that:
 14.54> 11
 Therefore, the scale is not reasonable because the drawing does not fit on the paper completely.
 
 this is not a reasonable scale
