Explain how you know. Elena's bed measures 4 cm by 3 cm on the scale drawing. What are the actual measurements of her bed? How would I draw this out

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Actual length of rectangular bedroom = 5m

Actual width of rectangular bedroom = 3m

Scale = 1 to 50

Scaled length of bedroom = 5m/50 = 0.1m = 0.1 * 100= 10cm

Scaled width of bedroom = 3m/50 = 0.06m = 0.06 * 100= 6cm

If width of door = 0.8m wide

Scaled width of door : 0.8m/50 = 0.016m = 0.016 * 100 = 1.6cm

Bed measures : 4cm by 3cm on scale drawing ;

Actual bed dimension:

4cm * 50 = 200cm ; 200/ 100 = 2m

3cm * 50 = 150cm ; 150 / 100 = 1.5m
