Answer:
The dimensions of his scale drawing = 4 cm by 6 cm
Explanation:
An urban planner wants to create a city block. The city block will be 50 feet by 75 feet. What will the dimensions of his scale drawing be if the drawing has a scale factor of 1 cm = 12.5 ft?
From the above question
12.5 ft = 1 cm
Hence
For 50 feet
12.5 feet = 1 cm
50 feet = x
Cross Multiply
12.5 × x = 50
x = 50/12.5
x = 4 cm
For 75 feet
12.5 feet = 1 cm
75 feet = x
Cross Multiply
12.5 × x = 75
x = 75/12.5
x = 6 cm
The dimensions of his scale drawing = 4 cm by 6 cm
