Determine the length on the drawing of a plan of a school compound measuring 80 m + 53m . Use k of one centimeter represent 5cm

Answer 1

To determine the length on the drawing, we need to divide the actual length by the scale that represents it on the drawing.

Given that one centimeter on the drawing represents 5 centimeters in reality, we can set up the ratio:

1 cm on the drawing = 5 cm in reality

Let's calculate the length on the drawing for the given compound:

Length on the drawing = (80 m + 53 m) / 5 cm
= 133 m / 5 cm
= 26.6 m / cm

So, the length on the drawing of the school compound measures 26.6 meters per centimeter.
