An architect makes a blueprint with a scale of -
- Inch = 2 ft. Which will be the dimensions of the drawing of a warehouse room measuring
60 ft by 100 ft?
A. 15" × 25"
B. 7.5" × 12.5"
C. 120" x 200"
D. 480" × 800"
О Е. 30" ×50"
To find the dimensions of the drawing, we need to divide the actual dimensions by the scale.
The actual dimensions of the room are 60 ft by 100 ft.
Dividing by the scale, we get:
60 ft / 2 ft = 30 inches
100 ft / 2 ft = 50 inches
Therefore, the dimensions of the drawing would be 30" by 50".
The correct answer is E. 30" × 50".
To determine the dimensions of the drawing of the warehouse room, we need to use the given scale of 1 inch = 2 feet. Here's how we can calculate it:
1. Convert the length and width of the warehouse room from feet to inches using the scale:
- Length: 60 ft * 12 in/ft = 720 in
- Width: 100 ft * 12 in/ft = 1200 in
2. Divide the converted dimensions by the scale factor to find the dimensions of the drawing:
- Length of the drawing: 720 in / 2 = 360 in
- Width of the drawing: 1200 in / 2 = 600 in
Therefore, the dimensions of the drawing of the warehouse room are 360 inches by 600 inches.
Now let's check which option matches these dimensions:
A. 15" × 25" - Not a match
B. 7.5" × 12.5" - Not a match
C. 120" x 200" - Not a match
D. 480" × 800" - Not a match
E. 30" × 50" - Not a match
None of the provided options matches the calculated dimensions of the drawing, so none of the given answers is correct.
To find the dimensions of the drawing on the blueprint, we need to use the given scale of - Inch = 2 ft.
First, let's calculate the scaled down dimensions for the length and width of the room:
Scaled length = 60 ft ÷ 2 ft = 30 inches
Scaled width = 100 ft ÷ 2 ft = 50 inches
Therefore, the dimensions of the drawing on the blueprint will be 30" × 50".
So, the correct answer is option E. 30" × 50".
