Question

jazlyn wants to purchase a triangular trampoline.
what are the actual base and height of
the trampoline?
actual base =
actual height =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the actual base

The scale is \(1\) inch \( = 4\) feet. The base on the drawing is \(2.5\) inches.
To find the actual base, we use the formula: \( \text{Actual base}=\text{Scale factor}\times\text{Drawing base}\)
So, \( \text{Actual base}=4\times2.5\)
\( \text{Actual base}=10\) feet.

Step2: Calculate the actual height

The height on the drawing is \(3\) inches.
Using the same scale factor formula: \( \text{Actual height}=\text{Scale factor}\times\text{Drawing height}\)
So, \( \text{Actual height}=4\times3\)
\( \text{Actual height}=12\) feet.

Answer:

Actual base \( = 10\) ft, Actual height \( = 12\) ft
