Cool Down: Drawing a Pool
A rectangular swimming pool measures 30 meters in length and 15 meters in width.
1. Make a scale drawing of the swimming pool where 1 centimeter represents 5 meters
11-1
1=201

Respuesta :

The pool's new dimensions will be 10cm by 5cm, where 1 centimeter equals 5 meters.

What do we mean by dimensions?

  • The dimension of a mathematical space is defined informally in physics and mathematics as the smallest number of coordinates required to specify any point within it.
  • A line has a dimension of one because it only requires one coordinate to specify a point on it, such as the point at 5 on a number line.

So, scaling is a technique for resizing an object. It can either enlarge or decrease the size of the object.

  • A rectangular pool's dimensions of 50m by 25m

Making a scale drawing of the pool in which 1cm equals 5 meters, that is:

  • 1 cm = 5m .... (1)

The length:

  • L = 50 m ..... (2)

Subtraction of both expressions 1 and 2:

  • 1/L = 5/50
  • 5L = 50
  • L = 50/5
  • L = 10cm

In terms of width:

  • The original width was 25 meters.

Obtain new width:

  • 1/W = 5/25
  • 5W = 25
  • W = 25/5
  • W = 5cm

Therefore, the pool's new dimensions will be 10cm by 5cm, where 1 centimeter equals 5 meters.
