The length and width of a rectangular playground are shown below. Anna makes a scale model of the playground using a scale of 4 centimeters:25 feet. What are the dimensions of Anna’s scale model? 2 centimeters by 5 centimeters 20 centimeters by 30 centimeters 80 centimeters by 120 centimeters 125 centimeters by 187.5 centimeters

Final answer:

To determine the scale model's size, we need the actual dimensions of the playground to apply the scale of 4 centimeters:25 feet. The lack of actual dimensions in the question prevents the calculation of the model's dimensions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding Scale Models

To find the dimensions of Anna's scale model, we must use the scale and measurement provided. The scale given is 4 centimeters:25 feet. To convert Anna's actual playground dimensions into the scale model size, we need to use the following steps

  1. First, it's important that we know the actual dimensions of the playground, which are unfortunately not provided in the question. Assuming we had these, we could move to step 2.
  2. Divide the actual length by the scale factor of 25 feet to determine how many 4-centimeter units it represents.
  3. Repeat the process for the width of the playground.
  4. Multiply the number of 4-centimeter units by 4 to get the length and width in centimeters for Anna's scale model.

Without the actual dimensions of the playground, we're unable to calculate the scale model's size accurately. However, the steps above illustrate how the problem would typically be solved using scale and measurement.
