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: Calculate actual length

Given scale \(1\) in. \( = 3\) ft and length in scale drawing \(l = 4\) in.
Multiply scale factor with length: \(4\times3\)

Step2: Calculate actual width

Given width in scale drawing \(w = 2\) in.
Multiply scale factor with width: \(2\times3\)

Answer:

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