Question

Anton uses image-editing software to create a design for a gate. The figure shows the scaled design Anton made.



Using the scale 1 inch = 3 feet, find the real dimensions of the gate.
A.
The length of the gate is 9 feet, and the width of the gate is 7 feet.
B.
The length of the gate is 27 feet, and the width of the gate is 21 feet.
C.
The length of the gate is 18 feet, and the width of the gate is 12 feet.
D.
The length of the gate is 12 feet, and the width of the gate is 18 feet.

Answer 1

Use 1 in = 3 ft. The scaled drawing measures 6 in by 4 in, so the real gate is 6×3 = 18 ft by 4×3 = 12 ft. Answer: C.
