This is the layout of the McDougal's backyard.The scale is 1 centimeters to 5 centimeters.The actual area of the pool is 375 square meters.The length of the pool is 25 meters.
How do I find the area of the pool on the layout?
If you mean the scale is 1 centimeter to 5 meters, then:
the width of the pool is 375 divided by 25 = 15 meters
Therefore, the pool is 25m x 15m, or on the layout, 5cm x 3cm, using the 1cm:5m scale.
The area of the pool on the layout is therefore 15 square centimeters.
This is the layout of the McDougal's backyard. The scale is 1 centimeter to 5 meters. The actual area of the deck is 350 square meters. The length of the deck is 35 meters.
To find the area of the pool on the layout, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by determining the length of the pool on the layout. Since the scale is 1 centimeter to 5 centimeters, divide the actual length of the pool (25 meters) by the scale factor (5 centimeters) to find the length on the layout:
Length on layout = Actual length of pool / Scale factor = 25 meters / 5 centimeters = 5 centimeters.
2. Next, calculate the width of the pool on the layout. Since the layout does not provide the width, we can calculate it by dividing the actual area of the pool (375 square meters) by the actual length of the pool (25 meters):
Width of pool = Actual area of pool / Actual length of pool = 375 square meters / 25 meters = 15 meters.
3. Convert the width of the pool from meters to centimeters, using the scale factor:
Width on layout = Width of pool / Scale factor = 15 meters / 5 centimeters = 3 centimeters.
4. Finally, calculate the area of the pool on the layout by multiplying the length on the layout by the width on the layout:
Area of pool on layout = Length on layout * Width on layout = 5 centimeters * 3 centimeters = 15 square centimeters.
Therefore, the area of the pool on the layout is 15 square centimeters.
