Question

A model village is built to scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the road in the model is 60 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: scale = 1:19

         real-life length of the road = 1.14 km

                                                      = 1140 m

Let the length of the road in the model be represented by d. A scale is a representative fraction that can be used to either increase or decrease the length of an object.

Scale = $\frac{length on drawing}{actual length}$

The actual length is the real-life length given as 1140 m.

So that,

$\frac{1}{19}$ = $\frac{d}{1140}$

19d = 1140

⇒ d = $\frac{1140}{19}$

       = 60

Therefore, the length of the road in the model is 60 m.
