Question

Consider the scale drawing of a skate park.

A skate park has side lengths of 2 feet, 4 feet, 1.5 feet, and 3 feet.

The 2 ft side length of the scale drawing corresponds to a side length of 120 feet for the actual skate park.

What is the scale factor?


What operation will find the dimension of the actual skate park that corresponds to 4 ft on the scaled drawing?

Answer 1

To find the scale factor, we can divide the corresponding lengths in the actual skate park by their respective lengths in the scale drawing.

Given:

In the scale drawing:

2 ft corresponds to 120 ft in the actual skate park.

Scale factor = Actual length / Corresponding length

Scale factor = 120 ft / 2 ft

Scale factor = 60

Therefore, the scale factor is 60.

To find the dimension of the actual skate park that corresponds to 4 ft on the scaled drawing, we can multiply the length in the scale drawing by the scale factor.

Actual dimension = Dimension in scale drawing * Scale factor

Actual dimension = 4 ft * 60

Actual dimension = 240 ft

Therefore, the dimension of the actual skate park that corresponds to 4 ft on the scaled drawing is 240 ft.

Answer 2

1.✔ 1/60

2.✔ divide by the scale factor
