Question

1. a rectangular park is 600 meters long and 400 meters wide. using a scale factor of 0.05, what will be the length of the scaled - down park?

a. 35 meters
b. 30 meters
c. 25 meters
d. 20 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor formula

The formula for the scaled - down length is $Scaled\ length=Original\ length\times Scale\ factor$.

Step2: Identify original length and scale factor

The original length of the park is 600 meters and the scale factor is 0.05.

Step3: Calculate the scaled - down length

$Scaled\ length = 600\times0.05=30$ meters.

Answer:

b. 30 meters
