Question

Now let the figure show a scale drawing of a park. The scale is 1 unit : 25 meters. What is the horizontal distance across the park?

A: 14 m
B: 225 m
C: 350 m

Answer 1

The question is missing the figure. So, the figure is attached below.

Answer:

C. 350 m

Explanation:

Given:

Scale is given as:

1 unit : 25 meters

This means that 1 unit on the grid is equivalent to 25 meters in actual.

Now, from the figure, the horizontal distance across the park is 14 units.

1 unit = 25 meter

Now, we can find the actual distance using unitary method and thus multiplying 25 and 14 to get the actual distance across the park horizontally.

∴ 14 units =
`25* 14=350` meters.

Therefore, the horizontal distance across the park is 350 m in actual.

So, the correct option is option C.
