On a scale drawing,the length of a farm land is 200m,what is the actual length of the farm land if the scale is 1cm represent 50m

1 answer

If 1cm represents 50m on the scale drawing, and the length of the farm land on the scale drawing is 200m, we can set up the following proportion to find the actual length of the farm land:

1cm / 50m = x cm / 200m

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

1 * 200 = 50 * x
200 = 50x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 50:

x = 200 / 50
x = 4

Therefore, the actual length of the farm land is 4 times the length on the scale drawing. Since 1cm represents 50m, 4cm on the scale drawing represents an actual length of:

4cm * 50m/cm = 200m

So, the actual length of the farm land is 200m.
