Answer:
Length of the person = 1.9 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Actual length of the lorry = 9.5 m
Length of the lorry as per scale = 10 cm
Scale factor used to get the actual length of the lorry = [tex]\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Length on scale}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9.5}{10}[/tex]
= 0.95 : 1
Let the actual length of the person = x meters
Length of the person as per scale = 2 cm
Scale factor used to get the length of person is same.
Therefore, relation between the actual length of the person and scale length will be,
[tex]\frac{x}{2}= \frac{0.95}{1}[/tex]
x = 2 × 0.95
x = 1.9 meters
