Answer 19

@meggy a model is a copy of that but dimensions are in small ratio like map in map it looks like exact actual but dimensions are made small
note that ratio of dimensions of actual to model is same in any direction so length and bredth ratio must be the same so can u evaluate the length ratio??

Answer 20

how do i do that?

Answer 21

what is the length of actual size plain????????

Answer 22

sry plane :D

Answer 23

9.8 meters? :O

Answer 24

ook so the length = 14.8

Answer 27

ya and it's model has length????????

Answer 28

.5 meters

Answer 29

yup:) so ratio is l1/l2=?????????

Answer 30

.916? how did you get 11/12 im confused

Answer 31

Don't get confused i m just talking about ratios which must be equal it will be clear wait
not 11/12 sry i mean L1/L2=14.8/0.5=29.6 :)

Answer 32

ook :)

Answer 33

now their wings must also satisfy this relation:)
can you evaluate

Answer 34

whats that mean?

Answer 35

simply the ratio must be same every where so wings also has to follow this
so
actual F-16 has a wingspan that measures 9.8 meters so its model has to have such value that its ratio must be 29.6
so
let it be x
