Answer 2

the width of the lake on the scale drawing is 12.5 cm

Explanation:

Scale drawing of a lake

1 cm = 80 m

the actual size of the given lake is 1000 m.

width of the lake on the scale drawing will be equal to

1 cm = 80 m

1 m =
`(1)/(80)\ cm`

1000 m =
`(1)/(80)* 1000\ cm`

= 12.5 cm

hence, the width of the lake on the scale drawing is 12.5 cm
