the diameter of the sweep of the main rotor of the eh101 helicopter is 18.6 meters. A toy model of it has a sweep of 31 centimeters. What is the scale of the model?

The actual length of 60 cm is modeled as 1 cm length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the sweep of the main rotor of the helicopter is 18.6 meters i. e. 1860 cm.

Now, the toy model of the helicopter has a sweep of 31 cm.

Therefore, the scale in which the model is made is 1860 : 31 i. e. 60 : 1 ratio.

So, the actual length of 60 cm is modeled as 1 cm length. (Answer)

The scale of the model to the actual is 1:60

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale of the model may be computes as the ratio of the diameter of the original sweep to the diameter of the model. Given that the diameter of the sweep of the main rotor of the eh101 helicopter is 18.6 meters and that of the model is 31 cm, the scale of the model

= 31cm to 18.6m

since 100cm = 1m,

18.6m = 18.6 * 100cm

= 1860 m

31cm to 18.6m = 31cm to 1860cm

= 1 to 60
