Answer 3

Do you know how we came this answer?

Answer 4

Not at all.

Answer 5

if the real ET has a base of 125m and the scale model will rest on a base of 12.5cm, the scale is 1 m = 1cm; note 125/10=12.5. So all you have to do to find the height of the scaled ET is to dvide the real height by 10, ie, 324/10=32.4cm
