Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given rectangle,

Length of the rectangle = 5 cm

Width of the rectangle = 10 cm

Ratio of length : width = 1 : 2

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)= 150 cm

l + b = 75 -----(1)

Since, l : b = 1 : 2

[tex]\frac{l}{b}= \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

b = 2l ------(2)

From equations (1) and (2),

l + 2l = 75

3l = 75

l = 25 m

Width 'b' = 2(25) = 50 m

Now we have to draw a rectangle with a scale = 25 : 2

Therefore, Scale factor = [tex]\frac{25}{l}=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]

l = 2 cm

Similarly,

[tex]\frac{50}{w}=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]

w = 4 cm

Now we can draw a rectangle with length = 2 cm and width = 4 cm.
