Question

Taylor wants to use a scale factor of 1/2 to make a smaller drawing of the door image shown. Part of her work is shown. Finish her work to find the height and width of her scale drawing.

Answer 1

Height:
`3 in * (1)/(2) = 1(1)/(2) in`

Width:
`1(1)/(2) in * (1)/(2) = (3)/(4) in`

Explanation:

All she needs to do is to multiply each dimension of the original door image by the scale factor, to get the height and width of the scale drawing.

Height:

`3 in * (1)/(2) = (3 * 1)/(2) = (3)/(2) = 1(1)/(2) in`

Width:

`1(1)/(2) in * (1)/(2) = (3)/(2) * (1)/(2) = (3 * 1)/(2 * 2) = (3)/(4) in`
