Question

1. verify that the sink will fit the counter.

a. referring to the blueprint of the new bathroom, what are the dimensions of the counter? each square represents 20 cm by 20 cm or 0.20 m by 0.20 m.

Explanation:

Step1: Count grid - squares for length

Count the number of grid - squares along the length of the counter. Suppose the length has 5 grid - squares. Since each square represents 0.20 m, the length $L = 5\times0.20=1$ m.

Step2: Count grid - squares for width

Count the number of grid - squares along the width of the counter. Suppose the width has 3 grid - squares. Since each square represents 0.20 m, the width $W = 3\times0.20 = 0.6$ m.

Answer:

The dimensions of the counter are 1 m by 0.6 m.
