Given: a quadrilateral with sides of 12 yards, 14 yards, 16 yards, and 18 yards. On a drawing, 1 inch = 2 yards, how long are the sides of the quadrilateral on the drawing?

A. 6,7,8 and 9 inches
B. 24,28,32 and 36 inches
C. 60, 70, 80 and 90 inches

Answer 1

if 1 inch=2yards then:

`(12)/(2) \: \: \: (14)/(2) \: \: \: (16)/(2) \: \: \: (18)/(2) \: \: \: \\ 6 \: \: \: \: \: 7 \: \: \: \: \: 8 \: \: \: \: \: 9`
so A is true

Answer 2

Given the scale of drawing ,

`1 inch = 2 yards\\`

The size of each side of a quadrilateral when converted as per the scale pf map
