Question

Anton uses image-editing software to create a design for a gate. The figure shows the scaled design Anton made.
4in, 6in
Using the scale 1 inch = 3 feet, find the real dimensions of the gate

Answer 1

To find the real dimensions of the gate, we need to convert the scaled dimensions in inches to real dimensions in feet using the given scale.

Scaled dimensions:
Width: 4 inches
Height: 6 inches

Scale: 1 inch = 3 feet

Real dimensions:
Width = 4 inches * 3 feet/inch = 12 feet
Height = 6 inches * 3 feet/inch = 18 feet

Therefore, the real dimensions of the gate are 12 feet in width and 18 feet in height.
