Question

Can I Get Help Pls Damon drew a scale drawing of a swimming pool. The scale he used was 1 inch : 9 feet. The diving board is 2 inches long in the drawing. How long is the actual diving board?

Answer 1

Answer: 18 ft

Explanation:

Given

Scale is 1inch:9 feet

1 feet= 12 inch

The dividing board is 2 inches long

Suppose the actual length of the diving board is x

`\therefore (1)/(9* 12)=(2)/(x)\\\\\Rightarrow x=(9* 12* 2)/(1)\\\\\Rightarrow x=216\ inch\ \text{or}\ 18\ ft`
