Question

A scale drawing of a rectangular park measures 6.5 inches long and 4 inches wide. If the scale used for the drawing is 2 inches equals 5 yards, what is the actual length of the park?

Answer 1

Answer: 52.5 yards

Explanation:

$6.5 \ in ==\ \textgreater \ \cfrac{6.5}{2} \times 5 \ yards ==\ \textgreater \ 16.25 \ yards$

$4 \ in ==\ \textgreater \ \cfrac{4}{2} \times 5 \ yards ==\ \textgreater \ 10 \ yards$

Perimeter = 16.25 + 16.25 + 10 + 10 = 52.5 yards
