Before he boards a flight, Martin's bag is scanned at the airport. The figure shows a scaled x-ray image of his bag. Using the scale 1 centimeter = 2 inches, find the real length and width of the bag.
To find the real length and width of the bag, we first need to measure the dimensions of the bag on the x-ray image.
From the x-ray image, we can see that the length of the bag is approximately 5 centimeters and the width of the bag is approximately 2 centimeters.
Using the scale 1 centimeter = 2 inches, we can convert these dimensions to inches:
Length = 5 cm * 2 inches/cm = 10 inches
Width = 2 cm * 2 inches/cm = 4 inches
Therefore, the real length of the bag is 10 inches and the real width of the bag is 4 inches.
