To find the length of the scale drawing, we need to determine the length ratio between the actual dimensions and the scale drawing using the scale factor of 1:8.
The ratio of the actual length to the length of the scale drawing is given by:
Actual length / Length of scale drawing = Scale factor
Let L represent the length of the scale drawing.
From the information given, we have:
60 meters / L = 1/8
Now we can solve for L:
60L = 8
L = 8/60
L = 0.133333333
Therefore, the length of the scale drawing is approximately 0.133 meters.
You are working on a blueprint for a new office building. The actual dimensions of the office space are 40 meters in width and 60 meters in length. You decide to create a scale drawing with a scale factor of 1:8. If the width of your scale drawing represents the actual width of the office space, what is the length of your scale drawing
