Question

HELP ASAP PLEASE.

a) according to the map on the left, Central Park is about 50 blocks long by 9 blocks wide. what is the approximate area of the park? show your work.




b)lets say the area of the map is 21 square inches. you want to make q enlarged map of central park to take with you on your journey. describe how you can determine the area of the the enlarged map.




c)supposed the scale factor you will ise to enlarge the map is 5:1. what is the approximate area of the park of the park in your enlarged drawing.




d) how did you apply proportional reasoning as you worked through these problems?

Answer 1

For (a) the answer is 450, 50(9)=450 total blocks.

Explanation:

For (c), you will have to use a scale of 1 to 5, so, 450(5)=2,250.

For (b), if the map is 21 square inches and you want to enlarge it to the size you want, you would have to take the total value of the original map and multiply it by whatever factor it has to be multiplied by.

Now finally for (d), I applied proportional reasoning by looking at the dimensions and adding them all together to get the area value, then comparing the area value to the enlarged figure or decreased figure.

(I did this quite a long while ago, I'm going based on my memory and math skills, sorry if I failed horrendously.)

Answer 2

it is either the second one or the last one
