A rectangular swimming pool measures 40 meters in length and 30 meters in width. in the scale drawing of the pool, 1 centimeter represents 2 meters

Respuesta :

The area of the swimming pool on the scale drawing will be 300 sq. centimeters.

What is the scale ratio?

A model's scale ratio is the proportionate ratio of a linear dimension of the model to the equivalent characteristic of the original.

For the given scale drawing 1 centimeter represents 2 meters, therefore, the length of 40 meters in one scale drawing will be equal to,

40 meters = 40/2 centimeters = 20 centimeters

The width of 30 meters one scale drawing will be equal to,

30 meters = 30/2 centimeters = 15 centimeters

Now, the area of the swimming pool on the scale drawing will be,

Area= 20 centimeters × 15 centimeters = 300 sq. centimeters

Hence, the area of the swimming pool on the scale drawing will be 300 sq. centimeters.

The complete question is:

A rectangular swimming pool measures 40 meters in length and 30 meters in width. in the scale drawing of the pool, 1 centimeter represents 2 meters. then what is the area of the swimming pool on the scale drawing?
