Question

A scale drawing of a rectangular park had a scale of 1 cm = 70 m.

5.1 cm= height

5.5 cm=

what is the actual perimeter of the park?

Answer 1

To find the actual measurements of the park, we need to convert the measurements on the scale drawing to actual measurements.

Height: 5.1 cm = 5.1 cm x 70 m/cm = 357 m
Width: 5.5 cm = 5.5 cm x 70 m/cm = 385 m

Now, we can calculate the actual perimeter of the park:
Perimeter = 2(Height + Width)
Perimeter = 2(357 m + 385 m)
Perimeter = 2(742 m)
Perimeter = 1484 m

Therefore, the actual perimeter of the park is 1484 meters.
