find the perimeter of the actual object using the scale factor shown on the blueprint. each side is 3 centimeters long.
1cm=5m
Each side is 15 meters long.
What's the perimeter?
3 * 5 = _______ meters
Ms Sue the answers are
a: 60
b: 75
c:80
D70
To find the perimeter of the actual object using the scale factor shown on the blueprint, we need to convert the measurements from the blueprint to the actual measurements.
Given that 1 centimeter on the blueprint represents 5 meters in reality, we can calculate the actual length of each side by multiplying the length on the blueprint by the scale factor.
Using the information provided, each side on the blueprint is 3 centimeters long. To find the actual length of each side, we can multiply 3 centimeters by 5 meters/centimeter, which gives us:
Actual length of each side = 3 cm * 5 m/cm = 15 meters
Since the object is a polygon, the perimeter is the sum of all sides. However, since there is no information regarding the number of sides, we cannot determine the total perimeter.
