To find the actual width (W), we need to look at the scale drawing of the rectangle. The length is 9 cm in the scale drawing, and the actual length is 27 cm.
So, we can set up a proportion to find the actual width:
9 cm (scale drawing length) / W (actual width) = 27 cm (actual length) / 27 cm (actual length)
Solving for W, we get:
9 cm / W = 27 cm / 27 cm
9 cm / W = 1
9 cm = W
Therefore, the actual width (W) of the rectangle is 9 cm.
Correct Response: A) 9 cm
The actual length (L) of a rectangle is 27 centimeters. Use the scale drawing of the rectangle to find the actual width (W).
