The lengths of the base and height of the garden in the other scale drawing are 0.6 cm and 0.9 cm. So, option A is correct.
What is the scale factor?
The scale factor is calculated by Scale factor = Length of the new drawing ÷ length of the original drawing
Calculation:
It is given that,
For the given triangle drawing, the scale from a garden to this drawing is 8 ft to 1 cm. The scale from the same garden to another drawing is 2 ft to 1 cm.
So, we can compute the scale factors as
8 ft to 1 cm = 1/8 cm
2 ft to 1 cm = 1/2 cm
Then the scale factor for the required lengths is 1/8 ÷ 1/2 = 1/4 cm
Thus, the required lengths are:
The base of the garden on the other scale drawing is
= 2.4 cm × 1/4
= 0.6 cm
The height of the garden on the other scale drawing is
= 3.6 cm × 1/4
= 0.9 cm
Therefore, the lengths of the base and the garden on the other scale drawing are 0.6 cm and 0.9 cm. So, option A is correct.
