Victoria drew a scale drawing of a farm. The scale of the drawing was 5 centimeters : 2 meters. In the drawing, the goat pen is 50 centimeters long. What is the length of the actual pen?

Respuesta :

The length of the actual pen is 20 meters.

The scale drawing is a reduced form of an original image. The scale drawing is reduced by constant dimensions. In this question, the scale is 5cm : 2m. This means that on the scale drawing, 5cm represents 2m.

Length of the actual pen = (length of the pen on the scale drawing x 2m) / 5cm

(50 x 2) / 5

100 / 5

= 20 m
