Question

A rectangular pool has a length of 200 ft. You're building a model. Using a scale

Answer 1

Answer:

1.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of the pool = 200 ft.

Scale factor = 1725.

As,

$\text{Scale factor }=\frac{\text{Original length}}{\text{Scaled length}}$

So,

$\text{Scaled length} = \frac{\text{Original length}}{\text{Scale factor}}$

By using the given values, we have

{Scaled length} $= \frac{200}{1725} ft.=0.116 ft.$

As 1 foot = 12 inch,

So, scaled length = 0.116 x 12 = 1.4 inches.

Hence, the scale length of the model = 1.4 inches.
