Just how tall is a house?



As part of our Dollhouse Challenge, you'll need to determine the scale factor between a real house and a doll house. I'm 5 feet 3 3/4 inches. Can you estimate the height of my house? It can be a little tricky with a split level, so be sure to talk about how you're making your measurements.

  1. i think its 25.88 feet beacuse the cursor is half your height on the picture so i kept stacking the cursor up to the top of the house and got 9. So the i did 5.75 divided by 2 * 9 and got 25.88 feet, Tadaaa!
