Answer:
90 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Tanya is making a blueprint of an Olympic-size swimming pool. The length of the pool is 50 meters, and its width is 25 meters
Tanya uses a scale factor of 3 inches per 5 meters
Now we convert the width and length of the pool to inches
5 meters = 3 inch
LEts make a propportion
[tex]\frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{50}[/tex]
cross multiply it
x= 30, length = 30 inches
we do the same and make a proprtion for width
LEts make a propportion
[tex]\frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{25}[/tex]
cross multiply it
x= 15,width= 15 inches
length = 30 inches and width = 15 inches
Perimeter of the pool= 2(length) +2(width)= 2(30)+2(15)= 90 inches
