Answer 1

The exact height of Sarah's scale model of the San Jacinto Monument is 6.04 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of Sarah's model, we need to use the scale factor given. The scale is 1 inch represents 100 feet. So, we can set up a proportion:

x/1 inch = 604 feet/100 feet

Cross multiplying, we get:

100x = 604

Dividing both sides by 100, we find that x, the height of Sarah's model, is 604/100 = 6.04 inches. Therefore, the exact height of her model is 6.04 inches.
