Question

The Dames Point Bridge, which spans the St. John's River, is America's largest cable-stayed bridge. The central span of the bridge is 1,300 feet between the two towers.

Cedric is making a scale model of the bridge using a scale of 1 inch = 100 feet. He will be using silver wire to construct the cables for the model.
