You can see that since the ratio of real building\textquotesingle s heights to the model building\textquotesingle s height is $1: 20$. We also know that the U.S Capitol is 289 feet in real life, so to find the height of the model, we divide by 20 . That gives us $14.45$ which rounds to 14 . Therefore, to the nearest whole number, the duplicate is (A) 14 feet.
