Question

a rectangular swimming pool measures 50 meters in length and 25 meters in width. on a scale drawing of the swimming pool, 1 centimeter represents 5 meters. use the hotpots to label the measure of the length and width of the scaled drawing. make sure to include units. press a hotpot, then type your response, and press submit. repeat for each response.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate scaled - length

Since 1 cm represents 5 m and the actual length is 50 m, we divide the actual length by the scale factor. The formula is $\text{Scaled length}=\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Scale factor}}$. So, $\frac{50}{5}=10$ cm.

Step2: Calculate scaled - width

Since 1 cm represents 5 m and the actual width is 25 m, using the same formula $\text{Scaled width}=\frac{\text{Actual width}}{\text{Scale factor}}$. So, $\frac{25}{5}=5$ cm.

Answer:

Length: 10 cm
Width: 5 cm
