A scale drawing of a lake has a scale of 1 cm to 80 m. If the actual width of the lake is 1,000 m, what is the width of the lake on the scale drawing? Explain or show your reasoning.

Respuesta :

Answer: 12.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation would be:

1:80

?:1000

So you'll just have the cross multiply the equation above to find ? ( scale drawing lake). It'll be 1000*1/80 which will be 12.5 cm.

                               

The width of the lake on the  scale drawing is 12.50 cm

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

The scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

Dimension of the scale drawing = original dimensions / scale of the drawing

The scale is 1 cm to 80m

Thus, the width of the lake on the  drawing = 1000 / 80 = 12.50cm
