Question

On a scale drawing, a driveway is 6 in. Long. The scale factor is 1/24. Find the length of the actual driveway

Answer 1

• 144 in or 12 ft

-----------------------

According to the scale factor of 1/24, the actual length is 24 times greater than the length on the drawing.

Hence the length of the driveway is:

• 6 in * 24 = 144 in = 144/12 ft = 12 ft
