Using a scale of 1 inch : 16 feet, what are the blueprint dimensions of a building that is 70 feet × 90 feet?
To find the blueprint dimensions, we need to use the scale of 1 inch : 16 feet. We can start by finding the length of one inch on the blueprint:
1 inch : 16 feet
If we divide both sides by 16, we get:
1/16 inch : 1 foot
So one inch on the blueprint represents 1/16 of a foot, or 0.0625 feet.
To find the blueprint dimensions of a building that is 70 feet × 90 feet, we can multiply each dimension by the scale factor:
70 feet × 1/16 inch/foot = 4.375 inches
90 feet × 1/16 inch/foot = 5.625 inches
So the blueprint dimensions of the building are 4.375 inches by 5.625 inches.
To find the blueprint dimensions of the building using a scale of 1 inch : 16 feet, you would divide the actual dimensions of the building by 16.
First, let's find the length:
70 feet ÷ 16 = 4.375 feet
Since 1 inch on the blueprint represents 16 feet, we can convert the length to inches:
4.375 feet × 12 inches/foot = 52.5 inches
Therefore, the length on the blueprint would be 52.5 inches.
Next, let's find the width:
90 feet ÷ 16 = 5.625 feet
Converting the width to inches:
5.625 feet × 12 inches/foot = 67.5 inches
Thus, the width on the blueprint would be 67.5 inches.
Therefore, the blueprint dimensions of the building that is 70 feet × 90 feet would be 52.5 inches × 67.5 inches.
