Question

what number can you multiply each length in the scale drawing by to find the actual length?
what are the actual length and width of the trampoline?
actual length = ft
actual width = ft

Explanation:

Step1: Use the scale factor

Given the scale \(1\) in. \( = 3\) ft. To find the actual length \(L\) and width \(W\) from the scale - drawing length \(l = 4\) in. and width \(w=2\) in., we use the formula \(L=l\times3\) and \(W = w\times3\).

Step2: Calculate the actual length

For the length: \(L=4\times3\).

$$L = 12$$

Step3: Calculate the actual width

For the width: \(W=2\times3\).

$$W = 6$$

Answer:

Actual length \(=12\) ft, Actual width \(=6\) ft
