On a scale drawing,the scale is 1/4 inch:1 foot. Find the dimensions of each room in the scale drawing.
How would you find the answer?
10 feet by 9 feeet
10 ft * .25 in/ft = 2.5 in
9 ft * .25 in/ft = (9/4) in or 2 1/4 in
On a scale drawing the scale is 1/2 inch= 2ft.Find the dimensions of each room in the scale drawing. 14ft by 18ft
56 by 36
To find the dimensions of each room in the scale drawing, you need to use the given scale. In this case, the scale is 1/4 inch:1 foot.
Step 1: Identify the conversion ratio in the scale. Here, 1 foot is equivalent to 1/4 inch on the scale drawing.
Step 2: Start with one dimension of the room. Let's assume the length of the room is 10 feet.
Step 3: Use the scale's conversion ratio to find the corresponding length on the scale drawing.
- Multiply the length of the room (10 feet) by the denominator of the conversion ratio (1/4 inch).
- 10 feet * 1/4 inch = 10/4 = 2.5 inches.
The length of the room in the scale drawing would be 2.5 inches.
Step 4: Repeat the process for the other dimension of the room. Assuming the width of the room is 9 feet:
- Multiply the width of the room (9 feet) by the denominator of the conversion ratio (1/4 inch).
- 9 feet * 1/4 inch = 9/4 = 2.25 inches.
The width of the room in the scale drawing would be 2.25 inches.
Therefore, the dimensions of each room in the scale drawing would be 2.5 inches by 2.25 inches.
