Question

He uses a scale of 0.5 centimeter to 1 inch to draw the flag. The length of the scale drawing is 2.5 centimeters, and its width is 4.75 centimeters. The perimeter of the scale drawing is centimeters. The perimeter of the actual flag is inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter = 28.8 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Change given centimeters into inches according to the scale

2.5 / .5 = 5 <--- length in inches

4.7 / .5 = 9.4 <--- width in inches

^^^This is the same thing as multiplying 2.5 cm and 4.7 cm by two. You could also reword the scale to be 1 cm = 2 inch if it makes more sense for you

Step 2: Find the perimeter using the formula: P = 2L + 2W

2 (5) + 2(9.4)

10 + 18.8
