Balanced Rock Height


1. **State the problem:** We need to find the actual height of Balanced Rock using a scale drawing where 1 cm corresponds to 32 feet. 2. **Identify the scale and measurement:** The scale is given as 1 cm : 32 ft. 3. **Measure the height in the drawing:** The height on the drawing is about 15 cm. 4. **Use the scale to find the actual height:** $$\text{Actual height} = \text{Drawing height} \times \text{Scale factor}$$ $$= 15 \text{ cm} \times 32 \text{ ft/cm}$$ $$= 480 \text{ ft}$$ 5. **Round the answer:** The height is already a whole number, so the actual height is about 480 feet. **Final answer:** The actual height of Balanced Rock is about 480 feet.
