Question

a local park is in the shape of a square. a map of the local park is made with the scale 1 inch to 200 feet. if the park is shown as a square on the map, each side of which is one foot long, how long is each side of the square park?

Answer 1

Answer:

600 ft per side

Step-by-step explanation:

1 in = 200 feet

12 in = 1 foot

12 in * 200 ft= 2400 ft

2400/4 = 600 ft per side

Answer 2

Answer:

Each side length of the park is 2400 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since scale used to draw the map was 1 inch to 200 feet.

scale factor = $\frac{\text{Lengths on map}}{\text{Actual length of park}}=\frac{1}{200}$

If the length of the square park on the map is = 1 feet or 12 inches

Then, $\frac{12}{\text{Actual length of park}}=\frac{1}{200}$

Actual length of the park = 200×12

                                         = 2400 feet

Therefore, actual length of the park is 2400 feet.
