Chapter 6.6, Problem 19HP

To determine

To find: a small rectangular item should use on a daily basis.

Answer to Problem 19HP

The dimensions of scale drawing are $\frac{3}{4}\text{in}$ by $\frac{3}{2}\text{in}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Make a scale drawing of that item. Then write a problem based on scale drawing.

Calculation:

Make a scale drawing of the rectangular item.

Take the rectangular park with dimensions $24\text{yard}\times \text{48}\text{yards}$ .

Let the scale is $\frac{1}{4}\text{in}=8\text{yd}$ .

Scale dimensions are

  $\begin{array}{c}24\text{yd}\times \frac{1/4\text{in}}{8\text{yd}}=\frac{3}{4}\text{in}\\ \text{48}\text{yd}\times \frac{1/4\text{in}}{8\text{yd}}=\frac{3}{2}\text{in}\end{array}$

Hence, the dimensions of scale drawing are $\frac{3}{4}\text{in}$ by $\frac{3}{2}\text{in}$ .
