Summary Sheet:
- Topic: Rosa Parks

- Blueprint Dimensions:
- Original scene dimensions: 10 ft x 8 ft
- Scaled down scene dimensions: 2 ft x 1.6 ft
Calculations:
- Scale factor = Scaled down size / Original size
= 2 ft / 10 ft
= 0.2
- Scaled down scene dimensions:
- Scaled down length = Original length x Scale factor
= 10 ft x 0.2
= 2 ft
- Scaled down width = Original width x Scale factor
= 8 ft x 0.2
= 1.6 ft
