Kerry wants to build a small rectangular deck on the back of his house. The area of the deck will be 80 square feet. One dimension will be 10 feet.
Use the point on the grid as a starting point and plot line segments on the grid to create a scale drawing of the deck where 1 unit represents 2 feet.
Since one dimension of the deck is 10 feet, in the scale drawing it will be represented by 5 units (10 feet divided by 2 feet per unit).
Starting from the point (0,0) on the grid, plot a line segment horizontally to the right for 5 units to represent the 10 feet dimension.
Next, plot a vertical line segment upwards for 16 units (80 square feet divided by 5 units) to represent the other dimension of the deck.
Connect the endpoints of the horizontal and vertical line segments to form a rectangle, representing the deck.
The scale drawing of the deck should be a rectangle measuring 5 units by 16 units on the grid.
the grid is 11 by 11
In that case, we can adjust the scale to fit within the 11 by 11 grid.
Since one dimension of the deck is 10 feet, in the scale drawing it will be represented by 5 units (10 feet divided by 2 feet per unit).
Starting from the point (0,0) on the grid, plot a line segment horizontally to the right for 5 units to represent the 10 feet dimension.
Next, plot a vertical line segment upwards for 16 units (80 square feet divided by 5 units) to represent the other dimension of the deck.
Connect the endpoints of the horizontal and vertical line segments to form a rectangle, representing the deck.
The scale drawing of the deck should fit within the 11 by 11 grid, with a rectangle measuring 5 units by 16 units.
can you explain better
Sure, let's break it down step by step:
1. Start at the point (0,0) on the grid.
2. Plot a horizontal line segment to the right for 5 units (representing 10 feet).
3. Plot a vertical line segment upwards for 16 units (representing 80 square feet divided by 5 units).
4. Connect the endpoints of the horizontal and vertical line segments to form a rectangle.
Your final drawing should be a rectangle measuring 5 units by 16 units within the 11 by 11 grid. Each unit on the grid represents 2 feet in this scale drawing.
I hope this explanation clarifies the process for creating the scale drawing of the deck. Let me know if you need further assistance.
but there is no 16 dot
I apologize for the confusion. Let's adjust the scale drawing to fit within the 11 by 11 grid:
1. Start at the point (0,0) on the grid.
2. Plot a horizontal line segment to the right for 5 units (representing 10 feet).
3. Plot a vertical line segment upwards for 8 units (80 square feet divided by 10 feet).
4. Connect the endpoints of the horizontal and vertical line segments to form a rectangle.
Your final drawing should be a rectangle measuring 5 units by 8 units within the 11 by 11 grid. Each unit on the grid represents 2 feet in this scale drawing.
I hope this adjustment helps in creating the scale drawing of the deck on the 11 by 11 grid. Let me know if you have any more questions.
