Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale of one filthiest would be written as 1:50,

this means for every foot of the model would be 50 feet for the actual tower

so you would multiply the dimensions of the tower by 50 get the actual dimensions.

height: 2.25 ft x 50 = 112.50 feet high = 113 feet (rounded)

width: 1.25 x 50 = 62.5 feet wide = 63 feet (rounded)
