A RECTANGULAR POOL IS 24 FT IN LENGTH AND 36 FT IN WIDTH A SCALE DRAWING OF THE POOL HAS A LENGTH OF 8 IN THE PERIMETER AND INCHES OF THE POLE IN THE SCALE DRAWING A 40-IN B 20 INC 120 IN D 60 IN
B) 20 inches
To find the scale factor, divide the actual length by the length in the scale drawing:
24 ft / 8 inches = 3 ft / inch
Now, find the perimeter of the pool:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Perimeter = 2(24 ft + 36 ft)
Perimeter = 2(60 ft)
Perimeter = 120 ft
To find the perimeter in the scale drawing, multiply the scale factor by the actual perimeter:
120 ft / 3 ft per inch = 40 inches
So the correct answer is B) 20 inches.
