Question

scale model you are making a scale model of your school baseball diamond as part of an art project the distance between two consecutive bases is 90 feet if you use a scale factor of 1/100 to build your model what will be the distance around the bases on your model?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) The distance between two consecutive bases is 90 feet.

A baseball diamond has four sides. Giving you an actual distance around the bases of,

Actual distance around the bases = 4 x 90 = 360 feet.

At a scale factor of 1/100, let's determine the scaled distance around the bases.

Scaled distance around the bases = Actual distance around the bases x 1/100

= 360 x 1/100

= 3.6 ft.

Therefore, the distance around the bases when scaled is 3.6 ft.
