Question

A rectangular carpet is 6 m long and 4 m wide. Choose the option on the centimetre square grid below which shows a scale diagram of the carpet using the scale 1 cm represents 2 m. ​

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

6m = 3cm High <long>

4m = 2 cm long <wide>

so area is 2 blocks up. 3 blocks long

Answer 2

Rectangle B is accurate with the scale of 2 = 1

You can find the length and width by dividing the 6m length by 2 where you will get a length of 3m and then diving the 4m wide by 2 in order to get a width of 2. Therefore the dimensions of the rectangle with a scale 1cm = 2m to a 6m long 4m wide rectangle would be a 3m long 2m wide rectangle.
