Question

The rectangular floor of a classroom is 32 feet in length and 36 feet in width. A scale drawing of the floor has a length of 8 inches. What is the perimeter, in inches, of the floor in the scale drawing?

Answer 1

34

Explanation:

32 / 8 = 4
36 / 4 = 9

perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length) + 2(width)
P = 2(8) + 2(9)
P = 16 + 18
P = 34
