56.25
feet and a width of
33.75
feet. If the scale is
1
inch
=
15
feet, which figure will represent the scale drawing of the park?


The image shows a rectangle having a length of three inches and a width of two inches.


The image shows a rectangle having a length of two inch and a width of one inch.


The image shows a rectangle having a length of three point seven five inch and a width of two point two five inch.


The image shows a rectangle having a length of one point eight seven five inch and a width of one point one two five inch.

Answer 1

Scale: 1 in = 15 ft.

Length: 56.25 ÷ 15 = 3.75 in.
Width: 33.75 ÷ 15 = 2.25 in.

So the third figure (3.75 in by 2.25 in) is correct.
