Question

cole is an urban planner. he wants to create a small scale drawing of a city block. the block is a square with side length 90 m. draw the city block such that 1 unit on the grid below represents 30 m.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the side length in units

Since 1 unit represents 30 m and the actual side - length is 90 m. Let \(x\) be the side - length in units. We use the proportion \(\frac{1}{30}=\frac{x}{90}\). Cross - multiplying gives \(30x = 90\), so \(x=\frac{90}{30}=3\) units.

Step2: Draw the square

On the grid, starting from one of the given points (or any appropriate starting point), draw a square where each side is 3 units long.

Answer:

Draw a square with each side equal to 3 units on the grid (based on the scale where 1 unit = 30 m).
