Question

City planners are creating a 3-dimensional model of a city park to find the best placement for a new tennis court. The city park is on a rectangular plot of land that is 1,500 ft long and 600 ft wide. The scale model of the park measures 7.5 ft x 3 ft. If the dimensions of the actual tennis court must be 120 ft long and 60 ft wide, what are the dimensions of the tennis court in the scale model? Note: If the answer is a decimal, include a leading zero. For example, enter 0.5 instead of .5
Length= ft.
width= ft.

Answer 1

Hello!

To find our scale factor, let's divide our real length (1,500) by our scale length (7.5)

1,500/7.5=200

Now, we divide our tennis court dimensions by 200.

120/200=0.6

60/200=0.3

Therefore, our answers are below.

Length: 0.6 feet

Width: 0.3 feet

I hope this helps!
