a playground is 100 x 150. How do i find the scale if making a scale model on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper?
use the scale which allows both dimensions to fit:
8.5/100 or 11/150
if the scale is 1 100 what is the perimeter andthe area of the house in meters
To find the scale for making a scale model of a 100 x 150 playground on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, you need to determine the ratio between the dimensions of the playground and the dimensions of the sheet of paper.
The scale can be calculated by dividing the dimensions of the playground by the corresponding dimensions of the paper. Let's calculate the scale factor for each dimension:
For the width:
Playground width: 100
Paper width: 8.5
Scale factor for width = Playground width / Paper width = 100 / 8.5
For the length:
Playground length: 150
Paper length: 11
Scale factor for length = Playground length / Paper length = 150 / 11
Now, to calculate the overall scale, you can take the average of the width and length scale factors:
Overall scale = (scale factor for width + scale factor for length) / 2
Using the above formula, you can determine the scale for making a scale model of the playground on the 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
