Determine the length on the drawing of a plan of a school compound measuring 80 m + 53m . Use k of one centimeter represent 5cm
To determine the length on the drawing, we need to divide the actual length by the scale that represents it on the drawing.
Given that one centimeter on the drawing represents 5 centimeters in reality, we can set up the ratio:
1 cm on the drawing = 5 cm in reality
Let's calculate the length on the drawing for the given compound:
Length on the drawing = (80 m + 53 m) / 5 cm
= 133 m / 5 cm
= 26.6 m / cm
So, the length on the drawing of the school compound measures 26.6 meters per centimeter.
