Answer: To find the length of an object in a scale drawing, you need to use the scale to convert the length on the drawing (measured in inches) to the actual length (measured in feet).
The scale of the drawing is given as 0.5 inches = 10 feet, which means that 1 inch on the drawing represents 10 feet in reality.
So, if the length of the object on the scale drawing is L inches, then the actual length of the object in feet would be:
Length (ft) = (Length (in) * 10 ft/0.5 in) = (L*20)
To find the actual length of the object in feet, you need to know the length of the object in inches from the scale drawing.
Once you have that measurement, you could then simply multiply it by 20.
