An architect makes a scaled drawing of a proposed pool the length of the actual pool 78 feet and the width is 42 feet suppose a scale of 0.5 inches equals 6 feet was used which dimensions would be used on the scale drawing to represent the pool
Length 9.2, width 5.5
Links 8 inches width 4 inches
Links 6.5 inches with 3.5 inches
Length 4.5 inches with 7 inches
The scale used is 0.5 inches equals 6 feet, so to determine the dimensions on the scale drawing, we need to divide the actual dimensions by the scale factor.
Length on scale drawing = 78 feet / 6 feet = 13
Width on scale drawing = 42 feet / 6 feet = 7
Using the scale factor of 0.5 inches equals 6 feet, the dimensions on the scale drawing for the proposed pool would be:
Length 6.5 inches, Width 3.5 inches.
