Question

Cole is an urban planner. He wants to create a small scale drawing of a city block. The block is a square with sides of length 100 m.Draw The city block such that 1 unit on the grid below represents 5 m.

Answer 1

We have to draw a square city block that has sides of 100m.

Since each unit on the grid must represent 5m, we can find how many units on the grid will represent a side of the square by dividing the 100m by 5:

$\frac{100}{5}=20$

The length of the square in units of the grid is 20 units.

Thus, we have to draw a square of 20 units by 20 units as shown in the following diagram:
