Complete the statements about the actual perimeter and area of the college campus. Use the scale 1 inch = 15 meters for the calculations.
The perimeter of the campus is how many
meters.
To calculate the actual perimeter of the campus, we need to find the perimeter in inches and then convert it to meters using the scale 1 inch = 15 meters.
Let's say the perimeter of the campus is 60 inches. To find the perimeter in meters, we first multiply by the scale:
60 inches * 15 meters/inch = 900 meters
Therefore, the actual perimeter of the campus is 900 meters.
The area of the campus is how many square meters.
To calculate the actual area of the campus, we need to find the area in square inches and then convert it to square meters using the scale.
Let's say the area of the campus is 100 square inches. To find the area in square meters, we first multiply by the scale squared:
100 square inches * (15 meters/inch)² = 22500 square meters
Therefore, the actual area of the campus is 22500 square meters.
