Using a scale of 1 inch : 16 feet, what are the blueprint dimensions of a building that is 70 feet × 90 feet?

Answer 1

To find the blueprint dimensions, we need to use the scale of 1 inch : 16 feet. We can start by finding the length of one inch on the blueprint:

1 inch : 16 feet

If we divide both sides by 16, we get:

1/16 inch : 1 foot

So one inch on the blueprint represents 1/16 of a foot, or 0.0625 feet.

To find the blueprint dimensions of a building that is 70 feet × 90 feet, we can multiply each dimension by the scale factor:

70 feet × 1/16 inch/foot = 4.375 inches
90 feet × 1/16 inch/foot = 5.625 inches

So the blueprint dimensions of the building are 4.375 inches by 5.625 inches.
