The bronze scale model shown below has a scale of 1:18. If the steeple on the church in the scale model is 3 feet high, find the height of the actual steeple. Be sure

Dilation involves enlarging or reducing the side length of a shape to create another shape by a constant scale factor, where the scale factor does not equal one.

How to determine the actual height of the steeple?

The given parameters are:

Scale factor = 1 : 18

This can be rewritten as:

Scale height : Actual Height = 1 : 18

The height of the scale model is given as:

Scale height = 3 feet

So, we have:

3 ft : Actual Height = 1 : 18

Express as fraction

Actual Height/3 = 18/1

Multiply both sides by 3

Actual Height = 54

Hence, the height of the actual steeple is 54 feet
