Question

a rectangular swimming pool measures 40 meters in length and 30 meters in width. in the scale drawing of the pool, 1 centimeter represents 2 meters. label the dimensions of the scale drawing.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate length on scale - drawing

Since 1 cm represents 2 m, for a 40 - m length, we divide the actual length by the scale factor. $40\div2 = 20$ cm.

Step2: Calculate width on scale - drawing

For a 30 - m width, using the same scale factor of 1 cm for 2 m, we divide the actual width by the scale factor. $30\div2=15$ cm.

Answer:

Length: 20 cm, Width: 15 cm
