Question

In the scale drawing of the base of a rectanglar swimming pool, the pool is 8.5 inches long and 4.5 inches wide. If 1 inch on the scale drawing is equivalent to 4 meters of actual length, what are the actual length and width of the swimming pool

Answer 1

34 m x 18 m

Explanation:

No picture shown, but we can do it anyway. If one inch on the drawing is actually 4 meters, multiply each dimension by 4.
The actual length is (8.5 * 4) = 34 meters.
The actual width is (4.5 * 4) = 18 meters.

The actual dimensions of the pool are 34 meters long and 18 meters wide.
