Question

the scale is 1 in. : 2 ft
area of triangle = \\( \frac { 1 } { 2 } b h \\)
find the actual base and height of the garden.
actual base = ft
actual height =? ft
height = 6 in.
base = 5 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate actual base

Given scale \(1\) in. \(= 2\) ft. Base on scale is \(5\) in.
Actual base \(=5\times2 = 10\) ft.

Step2: Calculate actual height

Height on scale is \(6\) in.
Actual height \(=6\times2=12\) ft.

Answer:

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