The following blueprint of a kitchen has dimensions of 8 inches by 8 inches. The island has been highlighted in red.
The island's actual dimensions are feet by feet. If the scale of the blueprint is 1 inch = feet, what are the dimensions of the island on the blueprint?
To find the dimensions of the island on the blueprint, we need to convert the actual dimensions of the island into inches using the scale provided.
Actual dimensions of the island:
Length: feet = * 12 = inches
Width: feet = * 12 = inches
Now, we use the scale of 1 inch = feet to find the dimensions of the island on the blueprint:
Length on blueprint: inches * 1 inch/ feet = inches
Width on blueprint: inches * 1 inch/ feet = inches
Therefore, the dimensions of the island on the blueprint are inches by inches.
