Before he boards a flight, Martin's bag is scanned at the airport. The figure shows a scaled x-ray image of his bag. Using the scale 1 centimeter = 2 inches, find the real length and width of the bag. (2 points) The bags width is 6 centimeters, and the length is 10 centimeters.
The length of the bag is 20 inches, and the width of the bag is 18 inches.
The length of the bag is 12 inches, and the width of the bag is 8 inches.
The length of the bag is 24 inches, and the width of the bag is 16 inches.
The length of the bag is 20 inches, and the width of the bag is 12 inches.
The correct answer is: The length of the bag is 20 inches, and the width of the bag is 12 inches.
To find the real length and width of the bag, we need to multiply the dimensions shown on the x-ray image by the scale factor.
For the length:
10 centimeters x 2 inches/centimeter = 20 inches
For the width:
6 centimeters x 2 inches/centimeter = 12 inches
So, the real length of the bag is 20 inches, and the real width of the bag is 12 inches.
