Answer 1

The model of the Eiffel Tower are: tall: 128 wide 41 and the real one is 324 so we can find the constant of proporcionality with the hight of the towers so:

$\begin{gathered} k=\frac{324}{128} \\ k=2.5 \end{gathered}$

so the wide of the original Eiffel Tower will be:

$\begin{gathered} W=41\cdot2.5 \\ W=102.5 \end{gathered}$

So it has a wide of 102.5 meters
