Question

The scale from an actual triangle to the drawing at the right is 30:1. The scale from the same triangle to Jorge's drawing of the triangle is 101. Is this drawing or Jorge's drawing larger? Explain your answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The actual triangle is larger

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Scale = Actual Triangle : Drawing$

$Scale = 30 : 1$

$Jorge = 101$

Required

Determine which is bigger

The answer to this question can be extracted from the given scale.

The question says: the scale from the actual triangle to the drawing is 30 : 1.

This implies that;

If Jorge's drawing is 101, then the actual length is 30 * 101 =3030

Since, 3030 > 30, then

We cam conclude that the actual triangle is bigger
