Question

1. mai wants to make a scale drawing of her kitchen. her kitchen is a rectangle with length 6 m and width 2 m. she decides on a scale of 1 to 40. a. draw and label the dimensions of a scale drawing of mai’s kitchen, using a scale of 1 to 40.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert length to cm

The actual length is 6 m. Since 1 m = 100 cm, 6 m = 6 * 100 = 600 cm.
Using the scale 1:40, the scaled length $l$ is calculated as $\frac{600}{40} = 15$ cm.

Step2: Convert width to cm

The actual width is 2 m. 2 m = 2 * 100 = 200 cm.
Using the scale 1:40, the scaled width $w$ is calculated as $\frac{200}{40} = 5$ cm.

Answer:

The scale drawing of the kitchen is a rectangle with length 15 cm and width 5 cm. To draw it, sketch a rectangle and label the length as 15 cm and the width as 5 cm.
