Question

a swimming pool measures 40 meters in length and 30 meters in width. in the scale drawing, 1 centimeter represents 10 meters. label the dimensions of the scale drawing.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate length in scale drawing

Since 1 cm represents 10 m and the actual length is 40 m, we divide the actual length by the scale factor. So, $40\div10 = 4$ cm.

Step2: Calculate width in scale drawing

Since 1 cm represents 10 m and the actual width is 30 m, we divide the actual width by the scale factor. So, $30\div10=3$ cm.

Answer:

The length of the scale - drawing is 4 cm and the width is 3 cm.
