Question

what number can you multiply each length in the scale drawing by to find the actual length?
what are the actual length and width of the trampoline?
actual length = ft
actual width = ? ft
l = 4 in.
w = 2 in.
1 in. : 3 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Find actual length

The scale is 1 in. : 3 ft, and the drawing length \( l = 4 \) in. Multiply drawing length by scale factor (3).
\( 4 \times 3 = 12 \)

Step2: Find actual width

The drawing width \( w = 2 \) in. Multiply drawing width by scale factor (3).
\( 2 \times 3 = 6 \)

Answer:

Actual length = 12 ft
Actual width = 6 ft
