The perimeter of the pool in the scale drawing can be calculated using the scale factor.
Scale factor = Actual length / Length in the scale drawing
Scale factor = 24 feet / 8 inches = 3
Therefore, the actual perimeter of the pool is:
Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(24 + 36) = 120 feet
And the perimeter in the scale drawing is:
Perimeter = 120 feet / 3 = 40 inches
So, the perimeter of the pool in the scale drawing is 40 inches.
A rectangular pool is 24 feet in length and 36 feet in width. A scale drawing of the pool has a length of 8 inches.
What is the perimeter, in inches, of the pool in the scale drawing?
