In blueprints an architects firm drew everything 1/24 of the actual size the windows will actually measure 4feet by 6 feet and t
he doors measure 12 feet by 8 feet what are the dimensions of the windows and doors
2 answers:
Window size in the image
length = 1/6 feet
width = 1/4 feet
Door size in the picture
length = 1/2 feet
width = 1/3 feet
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Scale images are images that represent the real situation. The picture made is given a certain comparison so that it describes the real situation
This particular comparison is called scale
Examples of this scale drawing include maps and floor plans
On a map usually a scale is included
So the scale is a comparison between the distance on the map with the actual distance
an architects uses a scale of 1:24 in the picture
actual size of the windows = 4 x 6 feet
actual size of the doors: 12 x 8 feet
then:
- 1. The window size in the image is:
length = scale x actual size
length = 1/24 x 4
length = 1/6
width = 1/24 x 6
width = 1/4
- 2. The size of the door in the picture is:
length = scale x actual size
length = 1/24 x 12
length = 1/2
width = 1/24 x 8
width = 1/3

Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of
So, the equation we want to solve is
Subtract 3x from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
