Question

The length of each square on the grid represents 1 cm. The scale

from an actual rectangle to the drawing is 24 in. to 1 cm. Make a
new scale drawing where each centimeter represents 16 in.
Label the length and width of your drawing in centimeters.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Length of the rectangle given in the the figure attached = 2 cm

Width of the rectangle = 5 cm

Scale used, 24 in to 1 cm

Therefore, length of actual rectangle = 2×24 = 48 in

width of the actual rectangle = 5×24 = 120 in

Now we have to draw a drawing by using the scale,

16 inches to 1 cm

Or 1 inch =
`(1)/(16)` cm

Therefore, length of the rectangle drawing =
`48* (1)/(16)`

= 3 cm

Similarly, width of the rectangle drawing =
`120* (1)/(16)`

= 7.5 cm
