7th Undt 1 Lesson 9

A rectangle around Utah is about 270 miles wide and about 350 miles tall. The upper right corner that is missing is about 110 miles wide and about 70 miles ta
Make a scale drawing of Utah where 1 centimeter
represents 50 miles on the 1 centimeter grid below.
Note: the grid is not to scale
Utah

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that 1 centimeter represents 50 miles

The width of the rectangle is 270 miles, hence:

`Width=270\ miles=270\ miles*(1\ cm)/(50\ miles) =5.4\ cm`

The rectangle is 350 miles tall, hence:

`height=350\ miles=350\ miles*(1\ cm)/(50\ miles) =7\ cm`

The missing part has a dimension of 110 miles width and 70 miles tall.

The width of the missing part is 110 miles, hence:

`Width=110\ miles=110\ miles*(1\ cm)/(50\ miles) =2.2\ cm`

The missing part is 70 miles tall, hence:

`height=70\ miles=70\ miles*(1\ cm)/(50\ miles) =1.4\ cm`

Using geogebra, Utah was plotted. The diagram is attached below
