Answer:

Length of the person = 1.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual length of the lorry = 9.5 m

Length of the lorry as per scale = 10 cm

Scale factor used to get the actual length of the lorry = [tex]\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Length on scale}}[/tex]

                                                                                         = [tex]\frac{9.5}{10}[/tex]

                                                                                         = 0.95 : 1

Let the actual length of the person = x meters

Length of the person as per scale = 2 cm

Scale factor used to get the length of person is same.

Therefore, relation between the actual length of the person and scale length will be,

[tex]\frac{x}{2}= \frac{0.95}{1}[/tex]

x = 2 × 0.95

x = 1.9 meters
