Question

What is the scale factor from the drawing to the actual airplane?

Scale drawing length :34 cm height: 10 cm

Actual airplane: height: 20m

The scale factor is __2_

20 m/10 cm =2 meters per cm

What is the actual length of the wings of the airplane from tip to tip

Answer 1

To find the actual length of the wings of the airplane from tip to tip based on the scale drawing, we need to first determine the scale factor from the drawing to the actual airplane and then apply this scale factor to the length of the wings in the drawing.

Given:
- Scale drawing height: 10 cm
- Actual airplane height: 20 m (which is equivalent to 2000 cm)

The scale factor already provided is 2. This scale factor indicates that for every 1 cm in the drawing, it represents 2 cm in the actual airplane.

Assuming you also have the length of the wings in the drawing (let's say the length is approximately given or can be measured), we can use the scale factor to find the actual length of the wings from tip to tip.

Let's say the length of the wings in the drawing is \( x \) cm:
- Actual wing length = \( x \text{ cm} \times 2 \text{ cm/cm} = 2x \text{ cm} \)

Please provide the length of the wings in the drawing (tip to tip), so I can calculate the actual wingspan for you.
