Anton uses image-editing software to create a design for a gate. The figure shows the scaled design Anton made.
Using the scale 1 inch = 3 feet, find the real dimensions of the gate.
A.
The length of the gate is 9 feet, and the width of the gate is 7 feet.
B.
The length of the gate is 12 feet, and the width of the gate is 18 feet.
C.
The length of the gate is 27 feet, and the width of the gate is 21 feet.
D.
The length of the gate is 18 feet, and the width of the gate is 12 feet.
B. The length of the gate is 12 feet, and the width of the gate is 18 feet.
To find the real dimensions of the gate, we need to multiply the dimensions on the scaled design by the scaling factor of 3 (since 1 inch = 3 feet).
Length of the gate on the design = 4 inches
Width of the gate on the design = 6 inches
Real length of the gate = 4 inches * 3 = 12 feet
Real width of the gate = 6 inches * 3 = 18 feet
Therefore, the correct answer is B. The length of the gate is 12 feet, and the width of the gate is 18 feet.
