Question

Babatunde draws a drinking glass on graph paper using the scale shown below. The glass has a length of 8 units in the drawing.

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the glass in the actual is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the drawing is

$\frac{2}{2.5}\frac{units}{cm}$

That means ------> 2 units in the drawing represent 2.5 cm in the actual

Find out the height of the glass in the actual

using proportion

Let

x -----> the height of the glass in the actual

$\frac{2}{2.5}\frac{units}{cm}=\frac{8}{x}\frac{units}{cm}\\ \\ x=2.5*8/2\\ \\ x=10\ cm$

therefore

The height of the glass in the actual is 10 cm
