Question

Use the given scale factor and the side lengths of the scale drawing to determine the side lengths of the real object. Scale factor. 4:1 10 in 10 in A C 12 in Scale drawing Object A. Side a is 6 inches long, side bis 6 inches long, and side cis 8 inches long. B. Side a is 14 inches long, side bis 14 inches long, and side cis 16 inches long. C. Side a is 40 inches long, side bis 40 inches long, and side c is 48 inches long D. Side a is 2.5 inches long, side bis 2.5 inches long, and side cis 3

Answer 1

As the scale factor is 4:1 it means that for each 4inches in scale drawing correspond to 1 inch in the object.

Then, to find the side lengths in the object you multiply the measure of each side in the scale drawing by 1/4:

`\begin{gathered} 10in\cdot(1)/(4)=2.5in \\ \\ 10in\cdot(1)/(4)=2.5in \\ \\ 12in\cdot(1)/(4)=3in \end{gathered}`Then, side a is 2.5 inches, side b is 2.5in and side c is 3inches
