Answer:
The question is not complete, fortunately, I found a match:
Tran planned a rectangular pool and made a scale drawing using centimeters as the unit of measurement. he originally planned for the length of the pool to be 40 m but decided to change it to 32 m. if the length of the pool in his scale drawing is 8 cm, which statement about the change of scale is true?
one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.
one cm represented 40 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 32 m in the second scale.
one cm represented 1 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 ft in the second scale.
one cm represented 4 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 m in the second scale.
answer:
one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.
Explanation:
To calculate the scaling factor, we will divide the actual figure by the figure in the scale.
Before the change: 8cm in the drawing represents 40m
8cm ≡ 40m
∴ 1cm ≡ 40 ÷ 8 = 5m
∴ 1 cm represents 5m
After the change: 8cm in the drawing represents 32m
8cm ≡ 32m
∴ 1cm ≡ 32 ÷ 8 = 4
∴ 1cm represents 4m
Therefore, one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.
