The width of scale drawing is 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of room =L1= 18 ft
The width of room =W1= 12 ft
The scale drawing length=L2 = 6 inches
The scale drawing width W2= x
According to rule of three
[tex]\frac{L1}{L2} = \frac{W1}{W2}[/tex]
putting values in equation we get
[tex]\frac{18}{6} = \frac{12}{x}[/tex]
[tex]3=\frac{12}{x}[/tex]
Re-arranging the equation we get
[tex]x=\frac{12}{3} \\x= 4[/tex]
So the width of scale drawing is 4 inches
