Question

the height of a building is proportional to the number of floors. the figure shows the height of a building with 8 floors. complete parts a and b.
the ratio of height of the building to the number of floors is \\( \frac { 104 } { 8 } \\). the unit rate is \\( \frac { 13 } { 1 } \\). this means that each floor of the building is 13 ft high.
b. how tall would the building be if it had 13 floors?
the building would be \\( \square \\) ft tall.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the height per floor

We know from part a that each floor is \(13\) ft high.

Step2: Calculate the height for 13 floors

Multiply the height per floor by the number of floors. The formula is \(h = 13\times13\).

$$h=13\times13 = 169$$

Answer:

\(169\)
