To find the dimensions of the playground on the scale drawing, we need to convert the actual dimensions to the scale drawing using the scale provided.
For the length:
78 feet * 0.5 inch/6 feet = 6.5 inches
For the width:
42 feet * 0.5 inch/6 feet = 3.5 inches
Therefore, on the scale drawing, the playground will be 6.5 inches long and 3.5 inches wide.
A city planner makes a scale drawing of a proposed playground. The length of the actual playground is 78 feet, and the width is 42 feet. Suppose a scale of 0.5 inch = 6 feet is used. Which dimensions represent the playground on the scale drawing?
