Question
A scale drawing of a rectangular park had a scale of 1 cm = 60 cm
Length=5.4 cm
Width= 11.1 cm
What is the actual perimeter of the park in meters?
Length=5.4 cm
Width= 11.1 cm
What is the actual perimeter of the park in meters?

To find the actual perimeter of the park in meters, we need to convert the dimensions of the scale drawing into actual dimensions.
Since 1 cm on the drawing represents 60 cm in real life, we can multiply the length and width of the scale drawing by 60 to get the actual dimensions:
Actual Length = 5.4 cm * 60 cm = 324 cm
Actual Width = 11.1 cm * 60 cm = 666 cm
Now, we can calculate the actual perimeter of the park:
Actual Perimeter = 2(Actual Length + Actual Width)
Actual Perimeter = 2(324 cm + 666 cm)
Actual Perimeter = 2(990 cm)
Actual Perimeter = 1980 cm
Finally, we can convert the actual perimeter from centimeters to meters:
Actual Perimeter in meters = 1980 cm / 100 = 19.80 meters
Therefore, the actual perimeter of the park is 19.80 meters.
Since 1 cm on the drawing represents 60 cm in real life, we can multiply the length and width of the scale drawing by 60 to get the actual dimensions:
Actual Length = 5.4 cm * 60 cm = 324 cm
Actual Width = 11.1 cm * 60 cm = 666 cm
Now, we can calculate the actual perimeter of the park:
Actual Perimeter = 2(Actual Length + Actual Width)
Actual Perimeter = 2(324 cm + 666 cm)
Actual Perimeter = 2(990 cm)
Actual Perimeter = 1980 cm
Finally, we can convert the actual perimeter from centimeters to meters:
Actual Perimeter in meters = 1980 cm / 100 = 19.80 meters
Therefore, the actual perimeter of the park is 19.80 meters.
