Answer:

1200 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale is a representative faction which can be used to either increase or decrease the size or dimensions of an object.

scale = [tex]\frac{model height}{actual height}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2inches}{160 feet}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15 inches}{actual height}[/tex]

actual height = [tex]\frac{15 *160}{2}[/tex]

                      = [tex]\frac{2400feet}{2}[/tex]

                      = 1200

actual height = 1200 feet

The actual height of the skyscraper is 1200 feet.
