    The model that will result from the representation of Mount Everest using a scale of 1cm = 100km will be of 0.088cm high, and will be too small to be seen with unaided eyes on the paper.

    Explanation:

    From the reduction scale given, if 1cm represents 100km, then xcm will represent 8.8km, then x = 8.8/100 = 0.088cm.

    This height is around 880micrometer. It is too small to detect with the unaided sight. Therefore, the scale used is too small for proper communication and representation of the Mountain.
