Question

Item 14
Find the missing dimension. Use the scale factor 1 : 12.

Answer 1

To find the missing dimension using a scale factor of 1:12, set up a proportion and solve for the missing dimension.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing dimension can be found by multiplying the given scale factor with the known dimension. In this case, the scale factor is 1:12 and we are trying to find the missing dimension. Let's say the known dimension is x. We can set up the proportion 1/12 = x/1 and solve for x.

Simplifying the proportion, we have 1/12 = x. Multiplying both sides by 12, we get x = 1 * 12 = 12. Therefore, the missing dimension is 12.

Answer 2

3.84m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale for this Water tower is 1 : 12 then this means that for every 1cm of the model, the actual water tower has 12cm. Therefore, in order to find the actual depth of the water tower we first need to multiply the depth of the model by 12.

32cm * 12 = 384cm

1 cm is equal to 0.01 m , therefore we now have to multiply the depth of the actual water tower which is in cm by 0.01 to get the actual depth in meters

384 * 0.01 = 3.84m
