Question

Dave wants to build a rectangular screened-in porch that is 20 feet long, and it will extend 6 feet out from the backside of his house.

Dave sketches a scale drawing of the porch. Choose a reasonable size and scale for Dave’s drawing of the porch. How should Dave label the dimensions of the model?

Answer 1

Scale of the drawing would be 20/12 inch and 0.6 (6/12) inch

Explanation:

For most of the residential buildings an scale of 1 inch = 12 feet can be used to draw the residential units.

In that case the scale of the drawing would be 20/12 inch and 0.6 (6/12) inch

Dave should label the dimensions in inches
