Question

Dani needs to create a scale model of the soccer field using the scale 1/2 inch equals 8 meters. The actual soccer field is 80 meters by 120 meters. What are the dimensions of the soccer field on their scale drawing?

Answer 1

To find the dimensions of the soccer field on the scale drawing, you need to use the given scale factor of 1/2 inch equals 8 meters.

First, calculate the dimensions of the scale drawing:

• Width: (Actual width) / (Scale factor) = 120 meters / 8 = 15 inches
• Length: (Actual length) / (Scale factor) = 80 meters / 8 = 10 inches

So, the dimensions of the soccer field on the scale drawing are 15 inches by 10 inches.

Answer 2

5 inches × 7 1/2 inches

Explanation:

80÷8=10

10÷2=5

5 inches

120÷8=15

15÷2=7 1/2

7 1/2 inches
