Question

area of triangle = 1/2 bh
what are the actual base and height of the trampoline?
actual base =
actual height =
1 in. : 2 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Find the actual base

The scale is \(1\) in. : \(2\) ft. The base in the drawing is \(5\) in.
Multiply the drawing base by the scale factor: \(5\times2 = 10\) ft.

Step2: Find the actual height

The height in the drawing is \(4\) in.

Answer:

The actual base is \(10\) ft and the actual height is \(8\) ft.
