Question

You want to produce a scale drawing of your living room which is 14 ft by 16 ft if you use a scale of 2 in = 4 ft what will be the dimensions of your scale drawing.

Answer 1

7 in by 8 in

Explanation:

The dimensions of the living room is 14 ft by 16 ft

In the scale drawing 2 in = 4 ft

`1\ \text{in}=2\ \text{ft}`

So, 1 in of the scale drawing represents 2 ft in the real world.

`1\ \text{ft of the actual dimension}=(1)/(2)\ \text{in in the scale drawing}`

`14\ \text{ft}=(14)/(2)=7\ \text{in of the scale drawing}`

`16\ \text{ft}=(16)/(2)=8\ \text{in of the scale drawing}`

Hence, the dimensions of the scale drawing are 7 in by 8 in.
