In a diagram of a landscape plan, the scale is 1 cm=10 ft. In the diagram, the trees are 3.7 cm apart. How far apart should the actual trees be planted?
A. 0.37ft
B. 37cm
C. 37ft
D.370ft
The actual distance between trees can be found by using the ratio of the scale, which is 1 cm = 10 ft. Therefore, for every 1 cm in the diagram, the actual distance is 10 ft.
If the trees are 3.7 cm apart in the diagram, then the actual distance between them is:
3.7 cm x 10 ft/cm = 37 ft
So the correct answer is C. 37ft.
To find out how far apart the actual trees should be planted, we need to convert the distance in the diagram from centimeters to feet using the given scale.
The scale is 1 cm = 10 ft. So, to convert 3.7 cm to feet, we divide 3.7 by 10:
3.7 cm รท 10 = 0.37 ft
Therefore, the actual trees should be planted 0.37 feet apart.
The correct answer is A. 0.37 ft.
