Question

Diagrams A and B are scale drawing of the same field. Each square is 1 centimeter long. If the scale of diagram A is 1 cm : 24 ft , what is the scale of diagram B?

Answer 1

`6cm:12cm`

Explanation:

Okay so remember this you need to know model: actual. This is really, important to know when solving.

Model: Model dimensions Example: 1cm

Actual: Actual dimensions Example: 24ft

Graph A:

1. Count the boxes. remember that each box is 1cm. After you counted all sides of the graph you should've gotten 12cm by 6cm.

2. After you got your model dimensions your goal is to find the ACTUAL dimensions. By finding the actual dimensions Multiply 12(24) and 6(24) Note: you need to multiply your actual from your scale. Times your dimensions for each side.

3. After multiplying you should've got 288ft by 144ft this is your actual dimension for graph A.

Graph B:

1. Now your answer the problem is asking for also has to do with graph A. In order to do this process, you need to divide each dimension by width and length.
`(288)/(24)` this is your length
`(144)/(24)` this is your width. divide

2. you should've gotten 12 and 6. now make your numbers into a scale

6cm: 12cm
