    The height of the scale model is 13.92 feet. (Rounding to the nearest hundredth).

    Step-by-step explanation:

    These are the measurements of the real building:

    Height = 30 feet

    Width = 30 feet

    Length = 30 feet

    Volume of the real building = 30 * 30 * 30 = 27,000 cubic feet

    These are the measurements of the scale model:

    Volume of the scale model = 10% of 27,000 cubic feet

    Volume of the scale model = 0.1 * 27,000 = 2,700 cubic feet

    Height = ∛ 2,700 = 13.92 feet (Rounding to nearest hundredth)

    Width = ∛ 2,700 = 13.92 feet (Rounding to nearest hundredth)

    Length = ∛ 2,700 = 13.92 feet (Rounding to nearest hundredth)

    The height of the scale model is 13.92 feet.
