The scale drawing of a swimming pool measures 2 inches by 3 inches. On the drawing .25 inches = 3 feet. What are the actual dimensions of the pool? Responses A 14 feet x 24 feet14 feet x 24 feet B 18 feet x 24 feet18 feet x 24 feet C 24 feet x 36 feet24 feet x 36 feet D 30 feet x 40 feet30 feet x 40 feet E 35 feet x 45 feet
To find the actual dimensions of the pool, we need to first find the scale factor by dividing the given measurement by the actual measurement:
0.25 inches / 3 feet = 1 inch / 12 feet
Now, we can use this scale factor to find the actual dimensions of the pool.
2 inches x 12 = 24 feet (actual length)
3 inches x 12 = 36 feet (actual width)
Therefore, the actual dimensions of the pool are 24 feet x 36 feet, which is option C.
