If the greatest length of the table is represented in the scale drawing by 1.5 feet, what will the other side of the table be?
If the length of the table in the scale drawing is 1.5 feet, then we can use proportions to determine the length of the other side.
Let's assume the actual length of the table is x feet.
1.5 feet (scale length) is to x feet (actual length) as 1 side of the table is to the other side of the table.
1.5/x = 1/x
Now we can cross multiply to solve for x:
1.5x = x
1.5x - x = 0.5x
0.5x = 0
x = 3 feet
Therefore, the other side of the table will be 3 feet long.
