The given scale is 3cm = 6 m.

The actual space shuttle is 36 meters long.

We have to use the given scale to find the scale model in centimeters. We have to multiply each side by 6.


\begin{gathered} 3\cdot6\operatorname{cm}=6\cdot6m \\ 18\operatorname{cm}=36m \end{gathered}

According to the scale, the answer is 18 centimeters.
