Look at the scale drawing. The length is 7 units, the width is 3 units, and each unit represents 0.25 feet.

Question

(3 points)
Determine the original rectangle dimensions and area. Do not round the numbers.

Original length =
feet

Original width =
feet

Original area =
square feet

Answer 1

To determine the original rectangle dimensions and area based on the scale drawing, we can use the information that each unit represents 0.25 feet.

1. Calculate the original length: \[ \text{Original Length} = \text{Length in units} \times \text{Scale} = 7 \text{ units} \times 0.25 \text{ feet/unit} = 1.75 \text{ feet} \]

2. Calculate the original width: \[ \text{Original Width} = \text{Width in units} \times \text{Scale} = 3 \text{ units} \times 0.25 \text{ feet/unit} = 0.75 \text{ feet} \]

3. Calculate the original area: \[ \text{Original Area} = \text{Original Length} \times \text{Original Width} = 1.75 \text{ feet} \times 0.75 \text{ feet} = 1.3125 \text{ square feet} \]

Thus, the final answers are:

• Original length = 1.75 feet
• Original width = 0.75 feet
• Original area = 1.3125 square feet
