Question

The actual length (L) of a rectangle is 27 centimeters. Use the scale drawing of the rectangle to find the actual width (W).

A) 9 cm
B) 15 cm
C) 18 cm
D) 32.5 cm

Answer 1

18 cm

Explanation:

The ratio of Actual length (L) to scale length is 27 : 3.6

27 ÷ 3.6 = 7.5

Therefore, actual width (W) = scale width x 7.5

= 2.4 x 7.5

= 18 cm
