Question

A garage for measures 150' x 120' high scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of one unit 15 feet what are the dimensions of the drawing

Answer 1

Dimension of drawing would be 10 feet × 8 feet.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of garage = 150 feet

Width of garage = 120 feet

Also When scaling 1 unit = 15 feet

We need to find the dimension after the scaling the garage on grid paper.

Now we know that

1 unit = 15 feet

So number of units after scaling= 150 feet

By Using Unitary method we get;

Length of garage after scaling =
`(150)/(15) = 10\ feet`

Also

1 unit = 15 feet

So number of units after scaling= 120 feet

By Using Unitary method we get;

Length of garage after scaling =
`(120)/(15) = 8\ feet`

Hence Dimension of drawing would be 10 feet × 8 feet.
