The scale from a playground to this drawing is 8 ft to 1 cm. What are the side lengths of the playground represented in this drawing?

Answer 1

If the scale from the playground to the drawing is 8 ft to 1 cm, then 1 cm represents 8 ft.
Let's say the side length of the playground is x ft. Then the side length of the drawing is x/8 ft.
Since 1 ft is equal to 30.48 cm, then x/8 ft is equal to (x/8)(30.48) cm.
Therefore, the side length of the playground represented in this drawing is (x/8)(30.48) cm.
