Answer:

The scale model giraffe is 5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the size of the giraffe sculpted by the artist, knowing that it has been built on a scale of 1 inch for every 4 feet, and knowing that the real giraffe in the zoo is 20 feet, the following calculation must be performed:

20 feet / 4 inches = X

5 = X

Therefore, the size of the giraffe sculpted to scale by the artist is 5 inches.
