Question

SCALE DRAWING: An architect made this drawing to represent a
swimming pool. The actual length of the pool is 15 ft. What is the
actual width of the pool shown in the model.


O 20 Feet
O 12 Feet
O 60 Feet
O 15 Feet

Answer 1

Answer:

12ft.

If the real length was 15 but is 5 down in the drawing that means the scale is 3ft to every inch. (15/5 =3).

With that said the width of the drawing is 4 inches. 4 x 3 = 12..

The width of the real pool would be 12 ft.
