Question

1. The triangle depicted by the drawing has an actual area of 36 square units. What is the scale of the drawing? (Note: Each square on the grid has a length of 1 unit.) What's the answer to this??

Answer 1

Answer:

the the scale of the drawing is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  Please have a look at the attached photo.

As we know that, the formula to find the are of a triangle is:

A = 1/2 b*h where:

• b is the base
• h is the height

From the photo, we can see that, the height is 3 units and the base is 6 units. So the area of the shaded triangle is:

A = 1/2 6*3 = 9 square units

Given that the triangle depicted by the drawing has an actual area of 36 square units. So the the scale of the drawing is:

area of the shaded triangle / the actual area

9 /36 = 1/4

Hope it will find you well.
