A scale drawing of a triangular stage is shown.
What is the perimeter, in feet, of the actual stage?
To find the perimeter of the actual stage, we need to determine the measurements of the sides of the triangle.
In the scale drawing, the sides of the triangle are labeled as follows:
- Side 1: 2 inches
- Side 2: 2 inches
- Side 3: 3 inches
If we assume that each inch in the scale drawing represents 1 foot in the actual stage, then the measurements of the sides of the actual stage are:
- Side 1: 2 feet
- Side 2: 2 feet
- Side 3: 3 feet
To find the perimeter of the actual stage, we add up the measurements of all three sides:
Perimeter = Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3
Perimeter = 2 feet + 2 feet + 3 feet
Perimeter = 7 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the actual stage is 7 feet.
