Answer

39,304 times as large

Work Step by Step

Since the actual length of each side is 34 times as large, the volume is $34^3$ as large. $34^3$=39,304 Area is the product of width, length and height. The area of the model is: 2×9×4=72 sq in If the scale is 1:34, each side of the actual truck is 34 times as large as the model. The area of the actual truck is: 2(34)×9(34)×4(34)=68×306×136=2,829,888 sq in Divide the actual area by the area of the model to find how many times greater 2,829,888÷72=39,304
