To find the scale of the map, we can set up a proportion based on the actual length of the volleyball court and the length of the volleyball court on the map.
- The actual side length of the volleyball court is 25 m.
- The length of the volleyball court on the map is 5 in.
Now, we can formulate the scale as follows:
\[ \text{Scale} = \frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Map length}} = \frac{25 , \text{m}}{5 , \text{in}} \]
To find the scale in terms of meters per inch, we calculate:
\[ \text{Scale} = \frac{25 , \text{m}}{5 , \text{in}} = 5 , \text{m/in} \]
So the scale of the map is:
1 in = 5 m.
