A scale drawing of a triangular stage is shown. What is the perimeter, in feet, of the actual stage? The scale is 1 inch : 2.25 feet, and the sides of the triangle are 6 inches, 10 inches, and 6 inches.
28.5 feet
49.5 feet
22 feet
42 feet
To find the perimeter of the actual stage, we first need to find the actual lengths of the sides of the triangle using the scale.
1 inch : 2.25 feet
6 inches = 6 * 2.25 = 13.5 feet
10 inches = 10 * 2.25 = 22.5 feet
6 inches = 6 * 2.25 = 13.5 feet
Now, we can calculate the perimeter:
Perimeter = 13.5 + 22.5 + 13.5 = 49.5 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the actual stage is 49.5 feet.
