Tiyane makes a scale drawing of the parallelogram. The longer side of the parallelogram is 22.5 inches in her drawing. What is the length of the parallelogram’s shorter side in Tiyane’s scale drawing? the scale factor is 3-inch hight 9-inch width
The scale factor of Tiyane's scale drawing is:
3 inches in height : 9 inches in width
This can be simplified to:
1 inch in height : 3 inches in width
To find the actual length of the shorter side of the parallelogram, we need to determine the corresponding length in the scale drawing.
Since the longer side in the scale drawing is 22.5 inches, we can set up a proportion:
1 inch : 3 inches = x inches : 22.5 inches
Solving for x, we get:
x = (1 inch * 22.5 inches) / 3 inches
x = 7.5 inches
Therefore, the length of the parallelogram's shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing is 7.5 inches.
To find the length of the parallelogram's shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing, we need to determine the scale factor.
The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the actual length of the longer side by its length in the drawing.
In this case, the actual length of the longer side is 22.5 inches, and its length in the drawing is 9 inches (as per the given scale).
Scale factor = Actual length / Length in the drawing
Scale factor = 22.5 inches / 9 inches
Scale factor = 2.5
Now, we need to find the length of the shorter side in Tiyane's drawing.
Length of the shorter side in the drawing = Scale factor * Length of the shorter side in the actual parallelogram
Since the given scale only mentions the height and width of the parallelogram, we cannot directly determine the length of the shorter side without additional information.
