Question

Elena wants to make a scale drawing of her apartment. Her apartment is a rectangle with length 18cm and width 10m. She decides on a scale of 1cm to 2m. What are the dimensions of the scale drawing of Elena's apartment, using a scale of 1cm to 2m. The answer should look like: __cm and__cm)

Answer 1

Answer:

9cm and 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

 Note: The unit of the width in the question is suppose to be in cm

     "with length 18cm and width 10m"====>>> "with length 18m and width 10m"

so given that the dimension of the room is

18mx10m

This is a reduction process since we aim to transfer the dimension to paper

we are reducing the dimension by 2

and 1cm---2m

since 2m will represent 1cm

then the dimension will be

9cm and 5cm
