of the scale drawing of a car park is drawn to a scale of 1cm representing 7cm and the car park is 133cm by 93m.find the length of the drawing

1 answer

To find the length of the drawing, we need to first convert the measurements of the car park to the same unit as the scale drawing.

The car park is 133cm by 93m. Since we know that 1cm on the drawing represents 7cm, we can convert the length and width of the car park to centimeters.

133cm = 133cm * 7cm/1cm = 931cm
93m = 93m * 100cm/1m = 9300cm

Now that we have the measurements of the car park in centimeters, we can find the length of the drawing.

Since 1cm on the drawing represents 7cm in real life, we can set up the following proportion:

1cm / 7cm = L (length of the drawing) / 931cm

Using cross-multiplication, we can solve for L:

L = (1cm/7cm) * 931cm
L = 133cm

Therefore, the length of the drawing is 133cm.
