Answer 1

Answer:

12.5 m

17.5 m

20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of the drawing to the actual size of the field = 24 mm : 5 m

✍️Given an actual length of 96 mm, actual length would be x m.

Thus:

24 mm : 5 m = 96 mm : x m

$\frac{24}{5} = \frac{96}{x}$

Cross multiply

$24x = 96*5$

$24x = 480$

Divide both sides by 24

$x = \frac{480}{24}$

✅$x = 20 m$

✍️Given an actual length of 84 mm, actual length would be x m.

Thus:

24 mm : 5 m = 84 mm : x m

$\frac{24}{5} = \frac{84}{x}$

Cross multiply

$24x = 84*5$

$24x = 420$

Divide both sides by 24

$x = \frac{420}{24}$

✅$x = 17.5 m$

✍️Given an actual length of 60 mm, actual length would be x m.

Thus:

24 mm : 5 m = 60 mm : x m

$\frac{24}{5} = \frac{60}{x}$

Cross multiply

$24x = 60*5$

$24x = 300$

Divide both sides by 24

$x = \frac{300}{24}$

✅$x = 12.5 m$
