On the following scale drawing, the scale is 3 centimeters = 1 meter.
1 Make a new scale drawing of this rectangular figure using the scale 6 centimeters = 1 meter. Make sure to label the new dimensions.
2 What are the actual dimensions of the figure?
the figure is 6.3 cm wide and 8.5 sm tall.
To find the new dimensions on the scale drawing multiply the actual dimensions of the figure by the scale.
6 cm / 3 cm = 2
The dimensions will double so the new dimensions are:
wide = 6.3 ∙ 2 = 12.6 cm
tall = 8.5 ∙ 2 = 17 cm
1. To make a new scale drawing using the scale 6 centimeters = 1 meter, multiply each dimension of the original figure by 2.
Width: 6.3 cm x 2 = 12.6 cm
Height: 8.5 cm x 2 = 17 cm
So, the new scale drawing of the rectangular figure using the scale 6 centimeters = 1 meter would be 12.6 cm wide and 17 cm tall.
2. Using the given scale of 3 centimeters = 1 meter in the original drawing, we can calculate the actual dimensions of the figure.
Width: 6.3 cm ÷ 3 = 2.1 m
Height: 8.5 cm ÷ 3 = 2.83 m
So, the actual dimensions of the figure are 2.1 meters wide and 2.83 meters tall.
To make a new scale drawing of the rectangular figure using the scale 6 centimeters = 1 meter, we need to double the dimensions of the original figure.
1. Start by doubling the width and height of the original figure.
- Width: Double 3 centimeters to get 6 centimeters.
- Height: Double 1 meter (100 centimeters) to get 200 centimeters.
Therefore, the new width is 6 centimeters and the new height is 200 centimeters.
2. Label the new dimensions on the scale drawing.
The new scale drawing will have a width of 6 centimeters and a height of 200 centimeters. You can draw a rectangle on a new sheet of paper and label the dimensions accordingly.
Regarding the actual dimensions of the figure:
- The width of the figure is given as 6.3 cm.
- The height of the figure is given as 8.5 cm.
Please ensure that the units for both figures are consistent (either in centimeters or meters).
