A city planner makes a scale drawn of a proposal playground the length of the Ashley playground is 78 ft in the width is 42 ft suppose a scale of 0.5 in equals 6 ft is used which dimension represents the playground on the scale drawing a 4.5 in x 7-in b 6.5 in by 3.5 in c 8 in by 4 in D 92.in by 5.5 in
To determine which dimension represents the playground on the scale drawing, we can calculate the dimensions of the playground on the scale drawing using the scale factor provided.
Given:
Actual length of playground = 78 ft
Actual width of playground = 42 ft
Scale factor = 0.5 in = 6 ft
To find the dimensions on the scale drawing, we can use the scale factor:
Length on scale drawing = Actual length / Scale factor
Width on scale drawing = Actual width / Scale factor
Length on scale drawing = 78 ft / 6 ft = 13
Width on scale drawing = 42 ft / 6 ft = 7
Therefore, the dimensions on the scale drawing are 13 in by 7 in, which corresponds to option B: 6.5 in by 3.5 in.
You sure
I apologize for the mistake in my initial calculation. Let's redo the calculation with the correct dimensions.
Given:
Actual length of playground = 78 ft
Actual width of playground = 42 ft
Scale factor = 0.5 in = 6 ft
To find the dimensions on the scale drawing, we can use the scale factor:
Length on scale drawing = Actual length / Scale factor
Width on scale drawing = Actual width / Scale factor
Length on scale drawing = 78 ft / 6 ft = 13
Width on scale drawing = 42 ft / 6 ft = 7
Therefore, the dimensions on the scale drawing are 13 in by 7 in, which corresponds to option B: 6.5 in by 3.5 in.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
