Lexie is making a scale drawing of a soccer field that is 120 yards long and 80 yards wide. If the field in Lexie’s drawing is 3
0 centimeters wide, how long should the field be in the drawing?

Answer:
- <em><u>The field in Lexie's drawing should be 20 cm long.</u></em>
Explanation:
Making a scale drawing requires that the figure be similar, which implies that the sides of the figures be proportional.
The proportion for a drawing 30 cm wide and unknown length with the soccer field that is 120 yards long and 80 yards wide is:
- length of the drawing / width of the drawing = length of the field / width of the field
Thus, using x for the unknown width of the drawing:
- 30 cm / x = 120 yard / 80 yard
Thus, you must solve for x:
- 30 cm × 80 yard = 120 yard × x
- x = 30 cm × 80 yard / 120 yard = 20 cm.
Hence, the field in Lexie's drawing should be 20 cm long.

A+b is 5+2 which equals 7
c=3 but 7 cannot be divided by 3.
which would be why this cannot be evaluated
