A scale drawing of a lake has a scale of 1cm to 80m. If the actual width of the lake is 1,000m, what is the width of the lake on a scale drawing?

Sagot :

The width of the lake on the  scale drawing is 12.50 cm

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

The scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

Dimension of the scale drawing = original dimensions / scale of the drawing

The scale is 1 cm to 80m

Thus, the width of the lake on the  drawing = 1000 / 80 = 12.50cm

The width of the lake on the  scale drawing is 12.50 cm

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of the dimensions of an original image/building/object.

The scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension.

Dimension of the scale drawing = original dimensions/scale of the drawing.

The scale is 1 cm to 80m.

Thus, the width of the lake on the  drawing = 1000 / 80 = 12.50cm
