A scale drawing of a rectangular park had a scale of 1 cm = 60 m.
4.9 cm
8.1 cm
What is the actual perimeter of the park in meters?
To find the actual perimeter of the park in meters, we need to multiply the length and width of the scale drawing by 60.
Given that the length of the scale drawing is 4.9 cm, the actual length of the park would be 4.9 cm * 60 m/cm = 294 meters.
Similarly, given that the width of the scale drawing is 8.1 cm, the actual width of the park would be 8.1 cm * 60 m/cm = 486 meters.
To find the perimeter, we add up all the sides:
Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(294 m + 486 m) = 2(780 m) = 1560 meters.
Therefore, the actual perimeter of the park is 1560 meters.
