Question

Barry wants to make a drawing that is 1/2 the size of the original. If a tree in the original drawing is 11 inches tall and 5 inches wide,

Answer 1

Barry's drawing is 5.5 in tall and 2.5 in wide.

Explanation:

We are given that

Height of tree, h=11 in

Width of tree, b=5 in

We have to find the size of the original.

Size of drawing is 1/2 size of the original

Therefore,

Height of drawing, h'=
`(1)/(2)* 11`in

Height of drawing, h'=5.5 in

Width of drawing tree=
`(1)/(2)* 5`

Width of drawing tree=
`2.5in`

Hence, Barry's drawing is 5.5 in tall and 2.5 in wide.
