Macy wants to jog around Triangle Park. On a scale map, the park has a perimeter of 11 inches. The scale of the map is 1 inch : 100 yards. What is the perimeter of the actual park?
since 1 inch == 100 yds
11 inches == 1100 yds
To find the perimeter of the actual park, we need to convert the scale of the map to actual measurements.
Given that the scale of the map is 1 inch : 100 yards, we can set up the following proportion:
1 inch / 100 yards = 11 inches / x yards (where x is the perimeter of the actual park)
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
1 inch * x yards = 100 yards * 11 inches
x = (100 yards * 11 inches) / 1 inch
x = 1100 yards
Therefore, the perimeter of the actual park is 1100 yards.
To find the perimeter of the actual park, we need to convert the scale of the map to the actual distance represented by 1 inch on the map.
Given that the scale of the map is 1 inch : 100 yards, we know that 1 inch on the map represents 100 yards in reality.
Next, we can calculate the actual distance represented by 11 inches on the map. Since 1 inch represents 100 yards, 11 inches would represent 11 * 100 = 1100 yards on the actual park.
Therefore, the perimeter of the actual park is 1100 yards.
