Question

A garage floor measures 150 feet by 120 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 1 unit and 15 feet.What are the dimensions of the drawing

Answer 1

The dimensions of the drawing are 10 units by 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is
`(1)/(15)\ (unit)/(feet)`

That means ---> 1 unit in the drawing represent 15 feet in the actual

To find out the dimensions of the drawing, multiply the actual dimensions by the scale drawing

so

`150\ ft=150((1)/(15))=10\ units`

`120\ ft=120((1)/(15))=8\ units`

therefore

The dimensions of the drawing are 10 units by 8 units
