The actual distance between the opposite corners of the school hall is; 10√34 m
How to use a Scale Drawing?
The scale drawing showing the corners of the hall has been drawn and attached.
Now, from the attached scale drawing it was drawn with the scale;
1 cm to represent 5 m.
Now, the distance between the opposite corners of the hall measuring 50 m and 30 m is indicated as D on the scale drawing. Thus, to find the distance between the opposite corners, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get;
D² = 30² + 50²
D² = 900 + 3500
D² = 4400
D = √4400
D = 10√34 m
Thus, the actual distance between the opposite corners of the school hall is; 10√34 m
Complete question is;
Make a scale drawing of a rectangular school hall which is 50 m long and 30 m wide using a scale of 1 cm to 5 m. From your scale drawing, find the actual distance between the opposite corners of the hall.
