The actual length (l) or rectangle is 27 centimeters. Use the scale drawing of the rectangle to find the actual with (w).
A. 18 cm
B. 32.5
C. 15 cm
D. 9 cm
A. 18 cm
To find the actual width, we first need to determine the scale used in the drawing. Let's say the scale is 1 cm on the drawing represents x cm in real life.
From the information provided, we know that the actual length is 27 cm and the length represented in the drawing is 9 cm.
So, 1 cm in the drawing represents 3 cm in real life (27 cm / 9 cm = 3). Therefore, the scale is 1 cm in the drawing represents 3 cm in real life.
Now, looking at the width in the drawing, we can see that it is 6 cm.
Using the scale factor, we can calculate the actual width as:
6 cm (width in drawing) x 3 (scale) = 18 cm
Therefore, the actual width of the rectangle is 18 cm.
The correct answer is A. 18 cm.
