Question

jazlyn also wants to purchase the trampoline shown in the drawing. what number can you multiply each length in the scale drawing by to find the actual length? w=5 in. l=8 in. 1 in.:2 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the scale

The scale given is \(1\) inch : \(2\) feet. This means that \(1\) inch on the drawing represents \(2\) feet in actual length.

Step2: Determine the multiplier

To find the actual length from the scale drawing length, we multiply the drawing length (in inches) by the number of feet per inch in the scale. Since \(1\) inch corresponds to \(2\) feet, the multiplier is \(2\) (when converting inches on the drawing to feet in actual, but if we consider the scale factor for length, since \(1\) in drawing unit = \(2\) actual units (feet), the multiplier is \(2\)).

Answer:

\(2\)
