Homework Help: Math

A square cushion measures 65 cm by 65 cm and 10 cm thick. Using a scale of 1:20 draw views of the cushion and label them with their measurements.

Can someone help me with this? How would I go about drawing them and using the scale for measurements?

Let 20 cm be represented by 1 cm

so 20/1 = 65/x
20x = 65
x = 3.25

20/1 = 10/x
x = .5

draw you cushion as 3.25 by 3.25 by .5 cm
