First, let's determine the scale factor by dividing the actual length of the pool by the length of the scale drawing.
Actual length of the pool: 24 feet
Scale length of the pool: 8 inches
Scale factor = 24 / 8 = 3
Now, we can find the perimeter of the pool in the scale drawing by multiplying the actual perimeter of the pool by the scale factor.
Actual perimeter of the pool = 2(24 + 36) = 2(60) = 120 feet
Perimeter of the pool in the scale drawing = 120 feet x 3 = 360 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the pool in the scale drawing is 360 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??
