Question

You want to produce a scale drawing of your living room, which is 24 ft by 15 ft. If you use a scale of 4 in. = 6 ft, what will be the

dimensions of your scale drawing?

Answer 1

The dimensions of the living room is the scale drawing are 16 in by 10 in

Explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is equal to

`(4)/(6)(in)/(ft)`

That means ----> 4 inches in the drawing represent 6 feet in the real

so

Find the dimensions of the living room in the scale drawing

using proportion

For 24 ft

`(4)/(6)(in)/(ft)=(L)/(24)(in)/(ft)\\ \\L=4*24/6\\ \\L=16\ in`

For 15 ft

`(4)/(6)(in)/(ft)=(W)/(15)(in)/(ft)\\ \\L=4*15/6\\ \\W=10\ in`

therefore

The dimensions of the living room is the scale drawing are 16 in by 10 in
