Question

a swimming pool measures 40 meters in length and 30 meters in width. in the scale drawing, 1 centimeter represents 10 meters. label the dimensions of the scale drawing.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length in scale drawing

Given the actual length is \(40\) meters and \(1\) cm represents \(10\) meters. Use the formula \( \text{Scale length}=\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Scale factor}}\). So, \( \frac{40}{10}=4\) cm.

Step2: Calculate the width in scale drawing

Given the actual width is \(30\) meters and \(1\) cm represents \(10\) meters. Use the formula \( \text{Scale width}=\frac{\text{Actual width}}{\text{Scale factor}}\). So, \( \frac{30}{10}=3\) cm.

Answer:

The length of the scale - drawing is \(4\) cm and the width is \(3\) cm.
