Question

An artist makes a scale drawing of a parallelogram-shaped sculpture. The scale is 10 cm on the drawing for every 8 meters on the sculpture. What is the area of the scale drawing? Show your work.

Answer 1

Area of drawing= 0.315 m²

Explanation:

Base = 6m

Height = 4.2 m

Area = height* base

Area= 4.2*6

Area= 25.2 m²

The scale is 10 cm on the drawing for every 8 meters on the sculpture.

Which is 10 cm to 800 cm

Or

0.1m to 8m

Arra of sculpture= 25.2 m²

area of drawing= (25.2*0.1)/8

Area of drawing= 0.315 m²
