Sometimes scale drawings are shown on graph paper. Each square on this graph paper is 1/4 inch. Use the scale drawing of the living room to answer the question. What is the length of a the fireplace in inches?
To find the length of the fireplace in inches, we need to measure the length of the fireplace using the graph paper scale provided.
Looking at the scale drawing of the living room, it appears that the fireplace is represented by a line that is 3.5 squares long.
Since each square on the graph paper is 1/4 inch, the length of the fireplace in inches is:
3.5 squares x 1/4 inch/square = 0.875 inches
Therefore, the length of the fireplace in inches is 0.875 inches.
