To find the actual width of the rectangle, we need to use the scale factor given in the scale drawing.
Let's assume the scale factor is 1:2. This means that every centimeter on the scale drawing represents 2 centimeters in actual length.
If the length of the rectangle on the scale drawing is 27 cm, then the actual length is 27 * 2 = 54 cm.
Since the actual length is 54 cm and the actual length is 27 cm, we can find the actual width by dividing the actual length by the actual width:
54 cm / 2 = 27 cm
Therefore, the actual width of the rectangle is 27 cm.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
9 cm
