Answer:

Scale 1: 35ft by 25ft

Scale 2: 56ft by 40ft

Explanation:

Given

Rectangle: 7cm by 5cm

Scale 1: 1cm = 5ft

Scale 2: 1cm = 8ft

Required

Determine the scale measurement

For Scale 1:

Actual Measurement


Length = 7cm


Width = 5cm

Scale 1: 1cm = 5ft

To calculate the scale measurement, we have to multiply the actual measurements by 5:

This gives:


Length = 7 * 5ft


Length = 35ft


Width = 5 * 5ft


Width = 25ft

So, the new measurement is 35ft by 25ft

For Scale 2:

Actual Measurement


Length = 7cm\\Width = 5cm

Scale 2: 1cm = 8ft

To calculate the scale measurement, we have to multiply the actual measurements by 8:

Scale Measurement:


Length = 7 * 8ft


Length = 56ft


Width = 5 * 8ft


Width = 40ft

So, the new measurement is 56ft by 40ft
