(35) Analyze Raul planned a painting of his mountain cabls 20 ft tall and the trees around it are 30 ft tall. The height of the
cabin in his painting will be 6 inches.
a. What is the scale from the actual cabin to the painting?
b. How tall should Raul paint the trees?

To find the scale of Raul’s painting, you compare the actual height of the cabin to its painted height. The actual cabin height is 20 ft (or 240 inches), while the painting height is 6 inches. Therefore, the scale is: 6 inches / 240 inches = 1/40. This means every 1 inch on the painting represents 40 inches in reality.

Now, for the trees that are 30 ft tall (or 360 inches), you would use the same scale. Since the scale is 1/40, you multiply 360 inches by 1/40, which gives you 9 inches. So, Raul should paint the trees 9 inches tall in his artwork!
