Question

ANSWER ASAP PLZ Elenas bedroom door is 0.8m wide. How wide should the door be on the scale drawing? Explain how you know. (Her bedroom is 5m in length and 3m in width and wants to use a scale of 1 to 50)

Answer 1

0.8 meter = 80 cm. divide by 50 is 1.6 cm.

similary all the other dimensions. it is convinient to transform it to cm and then divide by 50

Answer 2

0.016 meter

Explanation:

Given,

The scale factor =
`(1)/(50)`

We know that,

`\frac{\text{Scaled measure}}{\text{Actual measure}}=\text{Scaled factor}`

We have,

Actual measure = 0.8 m,

`\implies \frac{\text{Scaled measure}}{0.8}=(1)/(50)`

`\implies \text{Scaled measure} = (0.8)/(50)= 0.016`

Hence, the door would be 0.016 meter on the scale drawing.
