A football field is drawn to a scale of 1cm to represent 5m
This means that every 1 centimeter on the drawing represents 5 meters in real life.
To find the actual length of the football field, you need to use the scale factor provided. In this case, the scale is 1cm to represent 5m.
To calculate the actual length of the field, you can use the following formula:
Actual Length = Scale Length / Scale Factor
First, convert the scale length into meters. Since 1cm represents 5m, you divide the scale length by 5:
Scale Length = 1cm
Scale Factor = 5m
Actual Length = 1cm / 5m = 0.2m
Therefore, the actual length of the football field is 0.2 meters.
To start, let's convert the measurement from centimeters to meters. Since the scale is 1cm to represent 5m, we can divide the total length of the football field by 5 to find the length in centimeters.
Let's say the football field is 100 meters long.
100 meters ÷ 5 = 20 centimeters
So, the length of the football field on the scale would be 20 centimeters.
Similarly, you can use the same calculation to find the width of the football field on the scale. For example, if the width is 60 meters:
60 meters ÷ 5 = 12 centimeters
Therefore, the width of the football field on the scale would be 12 centimeters.
