Question

Consider the blueprint (scale drawing) of a living room in a house. The size of the longest wall in the house is 16 ft. A room has wall lengths of one-fourth foot, startfraction 1 over 12 endfraction feet, one-sixth foot, and one-third foot. What can be concluded about the information on the blueprint of the living room? Check all that apply.

A. Scale factor calculation
B. Measurement comparison on the blueprint
C. Wall length calculations
D. Estimating room dimensions from blueprint

Answer 1

From the blueprint measurements given and the actual size of the longest wall, one can calculate the scale factor, compare measurements, calculate actual wall lengths, and estimate the room's dimensions.

Step-by-step explanation:

When analyzing the blueprint of a living room with wall lengths of one-fourth foot, one-twelfth foot, one-sixth foot, and one-third foot, and knowing the actual size of the longest wall is 16 ft, we can conclude several things:

• Scale factor calculation: Since we are given actual room dimensions and blueprint measurements, calculating the scale factor is necessary to understand the relationship between the two.
• Measurement comparison on the blueprint: Comparing the provided measurements on the blueprint can give us an insight into the proportions of the room on the blueprint compared to its actual size.
• Wall length calculations: We need to perform calculations to determine the actual wall lengths based on the scale given by the blueprint measurements.
• Estimating room dimensions from blueprint: With the blueprint measurements and the scale factor, we can estimate the actual room dimensions.
