Question

Create a scale drawing of the original drawing using a horizontal scale factor of 80% any vertical scale factor of 175%.Write a numerically equation to find what the horizontal and vertical distances.

Answer 1

To answer this question I am going to create an example of a rectangle you could use. If the original width (horizontal distance) is 10, and the length (vertical distance) is 12, you would do the following to find the scaled version:

Length - 12 x 1.75= 21
Width - 10 x 0.8 = 8

Your scaled version would be 21 x 8.
