Question

1. scale factor = 1/7

35 ft
287 ft
original
diagram: original rectangle (width 35 ft, height 287 ft) and scaled rectangle with unknown width (?) and height (?)

Explanation:

Step1: Find scaled length (width)

To find the scaled width, multiply the original width by the scale factor. The original width is 35 ft, and the scale factor is $\frac{1}{7}$.
$$35\times\frac{1}{7} = 5$$
So the scaled width is 5 ft.

Step2: Find scaled length (height)

To find the scaled height, multiply the original height by the scale factor. The original height is 287 ft, and the scale factor is $\frac{1}{7}$.
$$287\times\frac{1}{7} = 41$$
So the scaled height is 41 ft.

Answer:

The scaled width is 5 ft and the scaled height is 41 ft.
