Answer 1

10

Explanation:

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

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

Scaled length of the pool = 50 / 5 = 10cm
